Promoting the production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from glucose via a deep eutectic solvent-dimethyl sulfoxide binary system coupled with AlCl3·6H2O.
A deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of SnCl4·5H2O and levulinic acid (LVA) was developed and combined with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to construct an efficient reaction medium for the conversion of glucose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). Under the optimized conditions, the Sn/LVA-16-DMSO binary solvent, coupled w...
