Catalytic conversion of cellulose to fuels and chemicals using boronic acids

Patent · 20 October 2015

OSTI ID:1223705

Raines, Ronald; Caes, Benjamin; Palte, Michael

Methods and catalyst compositions for formation of furans from carbohydrates. A carbohydrate substrate is heating in the presence of a 2-substituted phenylboronic acid (or salt or hydrate thereof) and optionally a magnesium or calcium halide salt. The reaction is carried out in a polar aprotic solvent other than an ionic liquid, an ionic liquid or a mixture thereof. Additional of a selected amount of water to the reaction can enhance the yield of furans.
