Abstract
The present invention relates to a catalyst for transfer hydrogenation, which is formed of a metal-organic framework having an MOF-808 based X-ray diffraction pattern. A high crystalline porous MOF-808 based metal-organic framework exhibits excellent performance in the transfer hydrogenation of ethyl levulinate (EL) at high and low temperature.
