Ethylene glycol was synthesized from dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation at ambient pressure over fullerene modified copper catalyst. Fullerenes show electron buffering effect to stabilize cuprous species and boost the copper catalysis. This finding provides a novel strategy for the design of stable catalysts using fullerenes as a molecular promoter.
