Conversion of Glucose to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Using Consortium Catalyst in a Biphasic System and Mechanistic Insights

Conversion of Glucose to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Using Consortium Catalyst in a Biphasic System and Mechanistic Insights

We found an effective catalytic consortium capable of converting glucose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in high yields (50%). The reaction consists of a consortium of a Lewis acid (NbCl<sub>5</sub>) and a Brønsted acid (<i>p</i>-sulfonic acid calix[4]arene (CX4SO<sub>...
