TLDR
In this paper, the solvolysis of 5-(chloromethyl)furfural (CMF) is used to extract 5-(hydroxymethyl)fur furs from sugar, cellulose, or lignocellulosic feedstocks, and the process described here presents an efficient entry into the value-added manifold of biomass derived products of relevance to the organic materials and fuel industries.About:

Green and sustainable manufacture of chemicals from biomass: state of the art
TL;DR: In this article, various strategies for the valorisation of waste biomass to platform chemicals, and the underlying developments in chemical and biological catalysis which make this possible, are critically reviewed, and three possible routes for producing a bio-based equivalent of the large volume polymer, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are delineated.

Catalytic conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to fine chemicals and fuels
TL;DR: This critical review provides insights into the state-of-the-art accomplishments in the chemocatalytic technologies to generate fuels and value-added chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass, with an emphasis on its major component, cellulose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conversion of biomass platform molecules into fuel additives and liquid hydrocarbon fuels
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that a series of platform molecules such as levulinic acid, furans, fatty acids and polyols can be converted into a variety of fuel additives through catalytic transformations that include reduction, esterification, etherification, and acetalization reactions.

Production of dimethylfuran for liquid fuels from biomass-derived carbohydrates
TL;DR: This catalytic strategy for the production of 2,5-dimethylfuran from fructose (a carbohydrate obtained directly from biomass or by the isomerization of glucose) for use as a liquid transportation fuel may diminish the authors' reliance on petroleum.

Production of Liquid Alkanes by Aqueous-Phase Processing of Biomass-Derived Carbohydrates
TL;DR: Liquid alkanes with the number of carbon atoms ranging from C7 to C15 were selectively produced from biomass-derived carbohydrates by acid-catalyzed dehydration, which was followed by aldol condensation over solid base catalysts to form large organic compounds.

Simple Chemical Transformation of Lignocellulosic Biomass into Furans for Fuels and Chemicals
TL;DR: It is reported that N,N-dimethylacetamide containing lithium chloride (LiCl) is a privileged solvent that enables the synthesis of the renewable platform chemical 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in a single step and unprecedented yield from untreated lignocellulosic biomass, as well as from purified cellulose, glucose, and fructose.
