    CATALYTIC TRANSFORMATION OF FRUCTOSE AND SUCROSE TO HMF WITH PROLINE-DERIVED IONIC LIQUIDS UNDER MILD CONDITIONS
    30-Jun-2014 Research 2014 : July - September
    Hu Li, Song Yang

    L-Proline derived ionic liquids (ILs) used as both solvent and catalyst were efficient for transformation of fructose and sucrose to 5-\nhydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in the presence of water. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize fructose\ndehydration process, and a maximum HMF yield of 73.6% could be obtained at 90�°C after 50 min. The recycling of the IL exhibited\nan almost constant activity during five successive trials, and a possible reaction mechanism for the dehydration of fructose to HMF\nwas proposed.
