Dehydration of Glucose and Fructose into 5-HMF Catalyzed by Lewis Acid in Ionic Liquids

doi:10.3724/SP.J.1088.2011.01258

Abstract

Abstract: A variety of Lewis acids have been examined for the transformation of glucose and fructose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) in ionic liquids (ILs). SnCl_n and CrCl_n are effective catalysts for the isomerization, and Lewis acids with strong acidity can facilitate the dehydration of fructose. The influence of ILs^’ structure, including the length of alkyl side chain and halide anions, on the conversion was also studied. A distinct odd-even carbon-atom-number effect is observed in the conversion of glucose to 5-HMF and the imidazolium bromides with short alkyl side-chains can provide a higher yield of 5-HMF from fructose. In the presence of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C₂MIM]Br) and SnCl₂, the yields of 5-HMF are 65% and 73% from glucose and fructose, respectively.

Key words: glucose, fructose, Lewis acid, ionic liquid, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural
