Please cite this article as: Thombal P.R., Han S.S. Novel synthesis of Lewis and Bronsted acid sites incorporated CS-Fe3O4@SO3H catalyst and its application in one-pot synthesis of tri(furyl)methane under aqueous media.
HIGHLIGHTSEfficient synthesis of novel chitosan-based carbonaceous catalyst by one step lowtemperature carbonization/sulfonation. The catalyst showed excellent selectivity for the conversion of C5 sugars into furfural followed by tri(furyl)methane.One-pot two-step dehydration/condensation reactions with efficient yields.
