Ru-MACHO®-BH is an effective catalyst for controlled depolymerization of polybutylene succinate. Under low pressure hydrogen the catalyst produces -butyrolactone a novel transfer hydrogenation wherein dehydrogenation and hydrogenation deconstruct the polymer chain. Simply increasing the hydrogen pressure selectively generates 1,4-butanediol.
