CONVERSION OF FRUCTOSE TO 5-HYDROXYMETHYLFURFURAL WITH A FUNCTIONALIZED IONIC LIQUID

Fructose can be efficiently converted to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural by using the functionalized ionic liquid 3-(2-chloroethyl)-1-methylimidazolium chloride as both solvent and catalyst in the presence of water. This work advances the field and is distinct from earlier efforts in the sense that the obse...
