A bifunctional Sn-Al-Beta zeolite which possesses isolated Lewis and Brønsted acid sites was prepared by a post-synthesis procedure and applied to the one-pot conversion of furfural to γ-valerolactone (GVL), a value-added chemical. Sn-Al-Beta was capable of catalyzing a cascade of the transfer hydrogenation and hydrolysis of furfural to GVL by the interplay of Lewis and Brønsted acid sites. The degree of dealumination and the tin-incorporation method largely influence the acid properties of the catalyst and the catalyst selectivity. A high yield of GVL up to 60% was obtained with Sn-Al-Beta 7 (Si/Sn = 63 and Si/Al = 473) at 180 °C in 2-butanol.
