Efficient Synthesis of Furfural from Biomass Using SnCl<sub>4</sub> as Catalyst in Ionic Liquid
Furfural is a versatile platform molecule for the synthesis of various chemicals and fuels, and it can be produced by acid-catalyzed dehydration of xylose derived from renewable biomass resources. A series of metal salts and ionic liquids were investigated to obtain the best combination of catalyst...
