<p>The method comprises subjecting a composition containing at least one oxidized sugar to catalytic hydrogenation, conducted in presence of selectivity promoter of Lewis base type. Independent claims are also included for: (1) the use of method as claimed and catalyst as claimed based on at least ruthenium, rhenium and/or iridium and prepared as described below, to produce hydrogenated sugars; and (2) process of catalytic hydrogenation of oxidized sugars, conducted in presence of at least 350 ppm (in dry wt. per dry wt. of reaction medium) of selectivity promoting agent of Lewis base type, as described below.</p> |
