Conversion of Glucose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with Tetraethylammonium Bromide and Chromium (III) Chloride as Catalysts

Article Preview

Abstract:

Tetraethylammonium bromide (TEAB) and chromium (III) chloride (CrCl3) were used synergistically to catalyze the conversion of glucose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). The effects of solvent, catalyst loading, reaction temperature and reaction time on the HMF yields were investigated. The results indicated that using 70 mol% TEAB and 12 mol% CrCl3 in a 10 wt% fructose solution in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) gave the highest HMF yield of 72.7 % after 90 min at 120 °C
