Effects of Water on the Copper‐Catalyzed Conversion of Hydroxymethylfurfural in Tetrahydrofuran

Abstract: Reaction kinetics were studied to quantify the effects of water on the conversion of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in THF over Cu/γ-Al2 O3 at 448 K using molecular H2 as the hydrogen source. We show that low concentrations of water (5 wt %) in the THF solvent significantly alter reaction rates and selectivities for the formation of reaction products by hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis processes. In the absence of water, HMF was converted primarily to hydrogenolysis products 2-methyl-5-hydroxymethylfuran (MHMF) a… Show more

“…Furthermore, as DMTHF appears in the last stage, once DMF has been produced and accumulated, and other hydrogenation products have not been detected, we will suppose that the hydrogenation of the furan ring does not take place to a large extent on the minor intermediate products. [31] A fitting of the apparent rate constants was performed by least-square minimization, according to a mechanism based on the following steps: [31,32] -HMF being consumed by paths 1 and 2, its consumption was fitted using a first-rate law of rate constant (k 1,app + k 2,app ):…”

“…Therefore, selective transformations of these two functional groups with conventional reactions such as oxidation, reduction, hydrogenolysis and condensation have been widely investigated to produce chemicals and fuels 13) . For example, HMFbased diols of 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) 14), 15) a n d 2,5-b i s ( h y d r o x y m e t h y l ) t e t r a h y d r o f u r a n (BHMTHF) 16), 17) are candidates for biomass-derived monomer sources. HMF can also be oxidized into 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) and/or 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) (Scheme 1).…”
