Metal Chlorides as Effective Catalysts for the One-Pot Conversion of Lignocellulose into 5- Chloromethylfurfural (5-CMF)
5-chloromethylfurfural (5-CMF) was produced from carbohydrates and lignocelluloses under the catalysis of Lewis acids. The millimole scale-up synthesis of 5-CMF from carbohydrates was successfully performed using metal chlorides or mixed metal chlorides as a catalyst in a heterogeneous system. The p...
