Abstract:Hydroxymethylfurfural (5‐HMF) is a vital biomass‐derived platform chemical for the production of secondary value‐added chemicals. In this work, fructose conversion into 5‐HMF over metal–organic framework (MOF) has been considered. Several MOF‐based catalysts were synthesized and examined in fructose dehydration into 5‐HMF via a microwave‐assisted reactor. Each MOF's catalytic performance was evaluated concerning its surface area, pore size, and acid density. The results showed satisfactory fructose conversion … Show more
“…Due to their permanent porosity, high surface area, facile synthesis, thermal stability, presence of active centers, and accessible voids, they show wide potential in catalysis, gas and energy storage, chemical sensing, photocatalysis, electronic devices, drug delivery, and so forth. In catalysis, COFs can be used as heterogeneous catalysts because of their unique functionality, uniform tunable pore sizes, and recoverability, which are more suitable for achieving excellent selectivity and catalytic activity than homogeneous catalysts. , Several functionalized COFs and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have also been active in the synthesis of HMF, especially from fructose. , But these are mainly encompassed by sulfonated acid groups; for instance, in 2015, the sulfonated 2D COF (TFP-DABA-COF-SO 3 H) was reported by Peng et al Due to the π-extended TFP-DABA network and the Brønsted acidity of −SO 3 H groups, fructose was enhanced toward dehydration into 97% HMF in DMSO .

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a promising organic platform for producing value-added chemicals. In this work, we focused on using a covalent organic framework (COF-1) as a heterogeneous catalyst for the dehydration of fructose to 5-HMF. The unique phosphazene unit-functionalized pores of COF-1 are essential active sites for catalytic performance. The results show that under the optimized reaction conditions, a maximum yield of 90% was obtained within 1.5 h at 120 °C. Furthermore, the effects of the catalyst load, reaction temperature, and usage of solvents for the improvement of reaction yield were investigated. The catalyst recyclability results showed that the yield of HMF did not change appreciably (90−82%) over five consecutive recycling runs. This work provides a viable strategy by applying phosphazene-based COF-1 for the efficient synthesis of HMF from renewable biomass. The synthesized HMF was further used for the synthesis of the biopolymer monomer furan-2,5-dimethylcarboxylate (FDMC) through N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed oxidative esterification.

“…Since the discovery of the remarkable catalytic capabilities of MOFs for biomass conversion, a lot of work has been aimed at investigating the dehydration of various hexoses into hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) over a wide range of pristine and modified MOFs. The acidic properties of some MOFs can, indeed, be further enhanced by adding functional groups such as nitro, sulfate, or phosphate to their structure to tune Brønsted and Lewis acid sites [68,69,[81][82][83][84]. The high activity and selectivity of sulfonated MOFs make -SO 3 H the 'functional group' of choice for these reactions [65,68,[84][85][86].…”

“…Merging microwave-responsive catalysts such as functionalized MOFs (polar absorber hybrid materials) with contemporary MW technology could contribute positively to sustainable biomass conversion towards useful renewable products. One type of MOF exhibiting high thermal and chemical stability, MIL-101(Cr), has been used as a solid catalyst for MW-assisted biomass conversion reactions [82,87,88]. The acronym "MIL" stands for "Material from Institut Lavoisier", while the number "101" refers to the fact that it was the first MOF developed at the Institut Lavoisier.…”

“…These MIL-101 analogues have also been assessed for 5-HMF production, but their performance does not meet that of MIL-101(Cr), especially in terms of stability [72]. Therefore, several studies selected the latter for further investigations on catalyst performance for biomass conversion [82,87,88].…”
The potential benefits of microwave irradiation for fructose dehydration into 5 hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) have been quantified over a sulfonated metal–organic framework (MOF), MIL 101(Cr)-SO3H. The effects of temperature (140–170 °C), batch time (5–300 min), and catalyst-to-substrate ratio (0.1–0.01 g/g) were systematically mapped. After 10 min of microwave (MW) irradiation at 140 °C in a DMSO–acetone reaction medium, practically complete fructose conversion was obtained with a 70% yield of 5-HMF. Without MW, i.e., using conventional heating (CH) at the same conditions, the fructose conversion was limited to 13% without any 5-HMF yield. Rather, 90 min of CH was required to reach a similarly high conversion and yield. The profound impact of moving from CH towards MW conditions on the reaction kinetics, also denoted as the microwave effect, has been quantified through kinetic modeling via a change in the Gibbs free energy of the transition state. The modeling results revealed an eight-fold rate coefficient enhancement for fructose dehydration owing to MW irradiation, while the temperature dependence of the various reaction steps almost completely disappeared in the investigated range of operating conditions.
The direct conversion reaction of glucose to 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is studied using metal organic framework (MOF) as Lewis‐acid catalysts and a polyoxometalate (POM), silicotungstic acid, as a Brønsted‐type acid with a mixture of 1% glucose solution in γ‐valerolactone (GVL)‐10% H2O at 140 °C. The study is carried out with two routes: one using MOF and POM tandem catalysts added independently and the other through the synthesis of a composite material denoted POM@MOF. The activity tests show that the profiles of the conversion and yield of HMF achieved in both routes are similar, with the reactions with MIL‐53(Al) and MIL‐101(Cr) catalysts producing the highest yield of HMF (40% after 8 h of reaction). Stability tests are performed on the POM@MOF catalysts based on MIL‐53(Al) and MIL‐101(Cr). MIL‐53(Al) and HSiW@MIL‐101(Cr) can be reused, showing a progressive loss in HMF yield due to the leaching of POM.
