K-10 clay-Al was found to be effective for the synthesis of 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) from 5- hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) with a yield of 89.5%. Further synthesis of EMF from the one-pot conversion of fructose in ethanol was failed, but ethyl fructoside was produced. When the conversion of fructose was carried out in DMSO, HMF was obtained in a high yield of 93.2%.
