The dehydration of fructose to selectively produce 5-HMF was catalytically developed in a new type of ionic liquids based on triazoles supported on alumina (Al 2 O 3 ). The synthesis of triazoles by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition allows for creating a tailor-made triazole, that was eventually used to design catalysts based on triazolium-based ionic liquids. In this work, four catalysts based on triazolium-ionic liquids supported on Al 2 O 3 were synthesized to produce 5-HMF from fructose in DMSO as the reaction solvent. According to their molecular structure, the catalysts were tagged as TR
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
