Abstract

Polymer bound sulfonic acid (PEG-OSO₃H) is active for the dehydration of biomass to furfural. The furfural yield is improved when MnCl₂ is added to the reaction mixture. The catalyst was mild, non-volatile, and non-corrosive and can be recycled multiple times (>10) without an intermediate regeneration step and no significant leaching of –OSO₃H groups is observed.
