Thermochemical Conversion of Untreated and Pretreated Biomass for Efficient Production of Levoglucosenone and 5-Chloromethylfurfural in the Presence of an Acid Catalyst

Levoglucosenone (LGO) and 5-chloromethyl furfural (5-CMF) are two bio-based platform chemicals with applications in medicines, green solvents, fuels, and the polymer industry. This study demonstrates the one-step thermochemical conversion of raw and pretreated (delignified) biomass to highly-valuabl...
