The relative free energy changes for the reaction ML+ = M + + L (M = Cu+ and Li+) were determined in the gas phase for a series of dimethoxyalkanes (MeO(CH2)nOMe, n = 2-9) by measuring the equilibrium constants of ligand-transfer reactions using a FT-ICR mass spectrometry. Stable 1:1 Cu+-complexes (CuL +) were observed when the chain is longer than n = 4 while the 1:2 complexes (CuL2+) were formed for smaller compounds as stable ions. The dissociation free energy for CuL+ significantly increases with increasing chain length, by 10 kcal mol-1 from n = 4 to 9. This increase is attributed to the release of constrain involved in the cyclic conformation of the Cu+-complexes. This is consistent with the geometrical and energetic features of the complexes obtained by the DFT calculations at B3LYP/6-311G level of theory. On the contrary, the corresponding dissociation free energy for LiL+ increases only 3 kcal mol -1 from n = 2 to 9, although the structures of the 1:1 Li +-complexes are also considered to be cyclic. From these results it is concluded that the Cu[MeO(CH2)nOMe]+ requires linear alignment for O-Cu-O, indicating the importance of sd σ hybridization of Cu+ in the first two ligands binding energy, while the stability of the Li+ complex is less sensitive to binding geometries except for the system forming a small ring such as n = 1 and 2.

In methanol 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfuryl alcohol (FA) can be selectively converted into methyl levulinate via acidcatalysis, whereas in water polymerization dominates. The hydrogenation of HMF, furan and furfural with the exception of FA is
