Outline of Final Research Achievements

We reported the conversion of cellulose into 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) utilizing acidic ionic liquids ([C3C4-SAim][OTf])-sillica gel hybrid catalysis. Microcrystalline cellulose was added [C4C1im][Cl] including acidic ionic liquids-sillica gel hybrid catalysis to give a homogeneous mixture. The solvent was kept at 120-130 ℃ with continuous stirring 6 h. HMF (9.0 %) was isolated. When the water was added in the reaction solvent, after the reaction, the acidic ionic liquids-sillica gel hybrid was separated out as the solid. As a results, it was possible to reuse the acidic ionic liquids-sillica gel hybrid two times easily. We expect that the methodlogy developed by this research contributes to a solution of world energy crisis.
