Here we report the one pot conversion of fructose to DFF in the presence of a mixture of choline chloride (ChCl) and DMSO as a solvent and Mo-Keggin heteropolyacids.Here we demonstrate that choline chloride has a beneficial effect on the direct conversion of fructose and inulin to DFF in the presence of Mo-V containing Keggin heteropolyacid. ChCl have two beneficial effects : 1) the enhancement of the conversion of fructose to HMF and 2) a higher conversion of HMF to DFF. A yield to DFF of 84% was obtained from fructose in the optimized conditions. In this mixture inulin was also converted to DFF.
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.
