Fructose dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural over supported acid catalysts: impact of acid chemical species
Aina Syahida Jamal, Cameron-Alexander H. Price, Molly Smith, Daniel Lee, Jesús Esteban, Christopher M. A. ParlettThe acid strength of grafted catalytic sites on porous silica nanospheres impacts the rate and selectivity of fructose dehydration to HMF; however, reaction parameters (temperature and time) also prove to be critical.
