Abstract: Supported bimetallic Cu–Fe catalysts revealed high activity and selectivity in isoprenyl acetate hydrogenation to isoprenol under mild reaction conditions (2 MPa H₂ and 170 °C). The nature of the carrier has a significant impact on the catalytic properties of Cu–Fe catalysts. The best catalytic properties were found for the 5% Cu–5% Fe/Al₂O₃ bimetallic catalyst, which provides a 98% isoprenyl acetate conversion in 4 h with the isoprenol selectivity of 82%.

Keywords: hydrogenation, bimetallic catalyst, isoprenol, isoprenyl acetate, iron catalyst, copper catalyst, nanoparticles.
