The depletion of fossil fuel reserves and increasing energy demands have encouraged new process development for converting biomass into valuable platform chemicals and renewable fuel components. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is considered as one of the promising green platform chemicals, but still multiple issues associated with its production has been remaining. Therefore, our group have previously reported efficient synthesis of 5-acetoxymethylfurfural (AMF) which can be used as an alternative to HMF. The less hydrohpilc acetoxymethyl group of AMF than HMF makes it possible to practical separation and purification. Herein, we report another synthetic approach for 5-acetoxymethylfurfural (AMF) via microwave-assisted dehydration of monosaccharides under acidic conditions. |
