One-pot reductive etherification of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into biofuel (2,5-bis(propoxymethyl) furan (BPMF)) using mixed catalyst ZrO(OH)₂and Zr-Hβ

Abstract

One pot catalytic sequence such as catalytic transfer hydrogenation and etherification for the synthesis of valuable product 2,5-bis(propoxymethyl)furan (BPMF) from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) was performed using 2-propanol as hydrogen donor and...

Effect of tunable acidic properties on the selectivity of biofuel candidate 2,5‐bis (propoxymethyl)furan (BPMF) using Sn‐Hβ and Sn‐dAlHβ catalysts

“…This subsequent etherification process occurs in the presence of an excess of either Lewis acid sites or Brønsted acid sites. Rana et al 52 . documented analogous findings in their investigation of reaction mechanisms concerning the one‐pot catalytic transformation of 5‐HMF into HPMF and BPMF.…”

“…Rana et al 52 . reported 91% selectivity of BPMF from combining ZrO(OH) 2 and Zr‐H β catalyst at 140 °C for 4 h. Wi et al 47 .…”

“…The robust interaction between Zr and Mont imbued the Zr‐Mont catalyst with enhanced Lewis acidity, culminating in superior yields of 95% BIPMF and 96% BBMF at 150 °C, surpassing the performance of Sn‐ β and Hf‐ β catalysts. S. Rana and P. Rana 52 . synthesized BPMF by one‐pot reductive etherification using mixed catalyst Zr‐H β + ZrO(OH) 2 and obtained 91.23% selectivity of BPMF.…”

Highly Efficient One-Pot Conversion of Glucose to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural over Acid–Base Bifunctional MCM-41 Mesoporous Silica under Mild Aqueous Conditions

“…1−3 Within the renewable sources, lignocellulosic biomass from plants has gained considerable attention over the years because of its high abundance and low price. 4,5 As one of the top value-added compounds derived from biomass, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) can be obtained through dehydration of carbohydrates (e.g., fructose, glucose, inulin, cellobiose, and cellulose). 6 HMF is a viable replacement for the building block of chemical industry that is currently derived from petrochemicals.…”

“…Continued depletion and price hike of fossil fuel resources, coupled with the growing concerns regarding greenhouse gas emissions, has urged the manufacture of fine chemicals, energy, and biofuels using green and renewable resources. − Within the renewable sources, lignocellulosic biomass from plants has gained considerable attention over the years because of its high abundance and low price. , As one of the top value-added compounds derived from biomass, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) can be obtained through dehydration of carbohydrates (e.g., fructose, glucose, inulin, cellobiose, and cellulose) .
