One pot production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with high yield from cellulose by a Brønsted–Lewis–surfactant-combined heteropolyacid catalyst

Abstract

A Brønsted–Lewis–surfactant-combined heteropolyacid (HPA) Cr[(DS)H2PW12O40]3 has been synthesized, and is used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the conversion of cellulose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in one pot within 2 h at 150 °C with 77.1% conversion and 52.7% yield. This micellar HPA catalyst shows stability and can be recycled by simple separation process.
