Application
- Electrocatalytic reduction of furfural: A study described the selective reduction of furfural to 2-methylfuran via electrode-electrolyte interface modification, providing insights into advanced electrocatalysis methods for producing bio-based chemicals (Ji et al., 2024).
- Hydrodeoxygenation of furfural: Research demonstrated the conversion of furfural to 2-methylfuran over a Cu-Co catalyst confined by a hollow carbon cage, showcasing enhanced charge transfer and alloy structure for efficient chemical synthesis (Dou et al., 2024).
- Environmental genotoxicity study: An investigation into the genotoxic effects of 2-methyl furan on male Sprague-Dawley rats over a 120-day exposure period highlighted the potential environmental and health risks associated with this compound (Cao et al., 2024).
- Cytotoxicity trend prediction: A study explored the mechanism-based cytotoxicity trends of furan-containing pollutants, including 2-methylfuran, when present in mixtures, aiding in the prediction and management of environmental pollution risks (Li et al., 2024).
