One-pot citral transformation to menthol over bifunctional micro- and mesoporous metal modified catalysts: Effect of catalyst support and metal

One-pot liquid phase citral transformation to menthols was conducted over Ni/H-Y and Ni, Ir, Ru, Pd supported on H-MCM-41. The selectivity to menthols decreased in the following order: Ni > Pd > Ru > Ir.
