Less is more : The integrated development and optimization of catalysts and reaction media led to a highly selective decarbonylation of 5‐(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) to furfuryl alcohol (FFA) with an iridium/phosphine catalyst in the presence of compressed carbon dioxide. Subsequent hydrogenation over ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) led to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA), a possible solvent for the decarbonylation reaction (see scheme).
