Efficient metal-free conversion of glucose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural using a boronic acid

Abstract 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which can be synthesized from hexose sugars without rearrangement of their carbon framework, is a key platform chemical that is readily convertible into fuels and chemicals that are now derived from petroleum. Methods to convert glucose, which i...
