Catalytic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in ionic liquid.
TL;DR: Production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from cellulose catalyzed by solid acids and metal chlorides was studied in the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl) under microwave irradiation, and the use of CrCl(3)/LiCl resulted in the highest yield of HMF.

One pot production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with high yield from cellulose by a Brønsted-Lewis-surfactant-combined heteropolyacid catalyst.
TL;DR: A Brønsted-Lewis-surfactant-combined heteropolyacid (HPA) Cr[(DS)H(2)PW(12)O(40)](3) has been synthesized and is used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the conversion of cellulose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in one pot within 2 h at 150 °C with 77.1% conversion and 52.7% yield.

Isomerization of glucose into fructose in the presence of cation-exchanged zeolites and hydrotalcites ☆
TL;DR: In this paper, the isomerization of glucose into fructose was performed in a batch mode in the presence of a series of alkaline solid catalysts such as cation-exchanged A, X, Y zeolites and hydrotalcites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acid-catalyzed dehydration of fructose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural by cellulose-derived amorphous carbon.
TL;DR: The cellulose-derived catalysts and ionic liquid exhibited constant activity for five successive recycles, and thus, the methods developed provide a renewable strategy for biomass conversion.
