Zinc‐Assisted Hydrodeoxygenation of Biomass‐Derived 5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5‐Dimethylfuran

Abstract: 2,5-Dimethylfuran (DMF), a promising cellulosic biofuel candidate from biomass derived intermediates, has received significant attention because of its low oxygen content, high energy density, and high octane value. A bimetallic catalyst combination containing a Lewis-acidic Zn(II) and Pd/C components is effective for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) to DMF with high conversion (99%) and selectivity (85% DMF). Control experiments for evaluating the roles of zinc and palladium revealed tha… Show more

“…Chidambaram and Bell 48 reported a process for HMF hydrogenation to DMF in EMIMCl/acetonitrile solvent in which maximum 17% DMF yield achieved over Pd/C catalyst at 120 ºC for 1 h. Recently Lu et Ru/C/ZnCl 2 , Ni/C/ZnCl 2 ). Among the investigated catalysts, bifunctional Pd/C/Zn 2+ catalyst achieved maximum DMF yield (85%) 51. The production of HMF and furfural from various sources of lignocellulose and upgrading furfurals into 2-MF and DMF with high yields (>90%) pathway, for HMF HDO has been reported by many research groups.…”

“…However, the obstructions to this process are land requirements for food production and other purposes. It has been observed that first generation bioethanol production does not meet the demand for oil-based economic growth or substitute for fossil fuel [6]. The most effective pathway is pretreatment of biomass-derived lignocellulose, selective separation of its three components, and selective transformation of this component for the production of second generation biofuel [7].…”

“…Furan derivatives obtained from renewable biomass resources have the potential to serve as substitutes for the petroleum-based building blocks that are currently used in the production of plastics and fine chemicals (N-Leshkov et al 2006). Among them, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), an acid-catalyzed dehydration product of hexose, is one of the versatile platform chemicals playing an important role in the synthesis of biofuels and other valuable chemical intermediates such as aromatic hydrocarbons , 2, 5-dimethylfuran (DMF) (Saha et al 2014), and 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) (Che et al 2012).…”
