Towards the conversion of carbohydrate biomass feedstocks to biofuels via hydroxylmethylfurfural
This review appraises the chemical conversion processes recently reported for the production of
hydroxylmethylfurfural (HMF), a key biorefining intermediate, from carbohydrate biomass
feedstocks. Catalytic sites or groups required for the efficient and selective conversion of hexose
substrates to HMF are examined. The principle of concerted catalysis was used to rationalise the
dehydration...
