Dehydration of xylose into furfural over micro-mesoporous sulfonic acid catalysts

TL;DR: The MCM-41 material with the highest loading of SAGs (0.7 meqg −1 ) showed fairly high selectivity for furfural (ca. 82% in DMSO or water/toluene mixture) at high xylose conversion (>90% within 24 h, at 140 °C).
Journal ArticleDOI

Conversion of mono/di/polysaccharides into furan compounds using 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquids

TL;DR: In this paper, the one-pot hydrolysis/dehydration of mono/di/polysaccharides into furfural (FUR) or 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF) in the presence of an acidic ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([EMIM][HSO4]), at 100°C, was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Octahedral bipyridine and bipyrimidine dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes: characterization, application in catalytic epoxidation, and density functional mechanistic study.

TL;DR: Experimental results are supported by theoretical calculations, which show that the attack of TBHP at the Mo center through the X-O-N face is energetically favored and the TBHP hydrogen atom is transferred to a terminal oxygen of the Mo=O moiety.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exfoliated titanate, niobate and titanoniobate nanosheets as solid acid catalysts for the liquid-phase dehydration of d-xylose into furfural

TL;DR: In this paper, the exfoliated-aggregated composites were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, N 2 gas adsorption, and scanning electron microscopy, and the acid properties were measured by IR spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly Luminescent Tris(β-diketonate)europium(III) Complexes Immobilized in a Functionalized Mesoporous Silica

TL;DR: The mesoporous silica MCM-41 functionalized with a chelating pyrazolylpyridine ligand was used as a support for the immobilization of tris(β-diketonate) complexes Ln(NTA)3 as discussed by the authors.
