Isosorbide is a bio-based functional diol, which is prepared by sequential dehydration of sorbitol and widely used in plasticizers, monomers, solvents or pharmaceuticals. In this study, a variety of acidified Nb2O5catalysts were prepared and used for the sequential dehydration of sorbitol to isosorbide. Acidification can effectively regulate the surface acidity of catalysts, which was measured by pyridine infrared spectroscopy and NH3-TPD analysis. The catalytic performance was related to the surface acidity, including the reaction temperature and the amount of catalysts. After optimization of reaction conditions, the yield of isosorbide reached 84.1% with complete sorbitol conversion during reaction at 150 °C for 3 h over 2 M sulfuric acid modified Nb2O5. Finally, the reaction mechanism regarding the role of Lewis acid sites was discussed. This study is of great significance for further development of an efficient catalytic system for the dehydration of carbohydrates to isosorbide.

The mono-dehydration of sugar alcohols such as d-sorbitol and d-mannitol generates 1,4-sorbitan and 1,4-mannitan, respectively, which are relevant platform molecules for the synthesis of detergents and pharmaceuticals. Most reported catalytic systems provided access to di-dehydrated products, while mono-dehydration required special efforts, particularly regarding selectivity and reaction temperature. A series of functionalized yttrium oxides were prepared via sol-gel synthesis in this work, which not only showed an interesting micropipe-like morphology, but also contained functional components. These materials were investigated as photocatalysts in the dehydration of d-sorbitol and d-mannitol, exhibiting high selectivity to mono-dehydration. The effects of solvent, temperature and catalyst were fully discussed. A catalytic mechanism was proposed based on the experimental results and calculations.

Isosorbide is a versatile chemical intermediate for the production of a variety of drugs, chemicals, and polymers, and its efficient production from natural cellulose is of great significance. In this study, bifunctional catalysts based on niobium phosphates were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method and used for the direct conversion of cellulose to isosorbide under aqueous conditions. NH3-TPD analysis showed that a high acid content existed on the catalyst surface, and pyridine infrared spectroscopic analysis confirmed the presence of both Lewis acid and Br?nsted acid sites, both of which played an important role in the process of carbohydrate conversion. XRD and H2-TPR characterization determined the composition and the hydrogenation centers of the catalyst. An isosorbide yield of 47% could be obtained at 200 °C for 24 h under 3 MPa H2 pressure. The Ni/NbOPO4 bifunctional catalyst retains most of its activity after five consecutive runs with slightly decreased isosorbide yield of 44%. In addition, a possible reaction mechanism was proposed that the synergistic effect of surface acid sites and hydrogenation sites was favorable to enhancing the cascade dehydration and hydrogenation reactions during the conversion of cellulose to isosorbide. This study provides as an efficient strategy for the development of novel multifunctional heterogeneous catalysts for the one-pot valorisation of cellulose. This journal is
Kinetic analyses of intramolecular dehydration of hexitols in high-temperature water
Yamaguchi, Aritomo,Mimura, Naoki,Shirai, Masayuki,Sato, Osamu
, (2019/11/29)
Intramolecular dehydration of the biomass-derived hexitols D-sorbitol, D-mannitol, and galactitol was investigated. These reactions were performed in high-temperature water at 523–573 K without added acid catalyst. The rate constants for the dehydration steps in the reaction networks were determined at various reaction temperatures, and the activation energies and pre-exponential factors were calculated from Arrhenius plots. The yield of each product was estimated as a function of reaction time and temperature using the calculated rate constants and activation energies. The maximum yield of each product from the dehydration reactions was predicted over a range of reaction time and temperature, allowing the selective production of these important platform chemicals.
Catalytic dehydration of sorbitol to isosorbide in the presence of metal tosylate salts and metallized sulfonic resins

, p. 61 - 66 (2018/12/11)
Homogeneous catalytic dehydration of sorbitol to isosorbide has been performed with a series of metal tosylates as catalysts. Conversions up to 100 % and selectivities into isosorbide up to 67% were obtained with Bi(OTs)3. The metals were exchanged with acidic sites of sulfonic resins and the resulting materials were evaluated as heterogeneous catalysts. On the contrary to their homogeneous counter parts, the heterogenized metal sites are non-active. The catalytic activity of the modified resins was systematically diminished in comparison to the native resins. The inhibition is greatly dependent on the nature of the metal and, on a larger extent, of the used resin for the cation exchange.

The confinement of Br?nsted acidic 1-methyl-3-(3-sulfopropyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium hydrosulfate ([PSMIm][HSO4]) into the channel walls of two-dimensional (2D) COFs using a one-pot self-assembly strategy was achieved by incorporating an imine-linked TPB-DMTP-COF (TPB, triphenylbenzene; DMTP, dimethoxyterephthaldehyde) as the host. An appropriate loading of [PSMIm][HSO4] is crucial for the BIL-COF hybrids to maintain proper geometry in the channel and sufficient acidic sites for the sorbitol substrate and sorbitan intermediate to enter and react. The best yield of isosorbide (97%) from sorbitol to date was obtained in the presence of BIL-COF-30 as the catalyst under optimized conditions. Besides, BIL-COF-30 can be recycled for at least five runs without activity loss.

Production of linear deoxygenated C4 (butanetriols, -diols, and butanols), C5 (pentanetetraols, -triols, -diols, and pentanols), and C6 products (hexanepentaols, -tetraols, -triols, -diols, and hexanols) is achievable by hydrogenolysis of erythritol, xylitol, and sorbitol over supported-bimetallic Rh-ReOx (Re/Rh molar ratio 0.5) catalyst, respectively. After validation of the analytical methodology, the effect of some reaction parameters was studied. In addition to C–O bond cleavage by hydrogenolysis, these polyols can undergo parallel reactions such as epimerization, cyclic dehydration, and C–C bond cleavage. The time courses of each family of linear deoxygenated C4, C5, and C6 products confirmed that the sequence of appearance of the different categories of deoxygenated products followed a multiple sequential deoxygenation pathway. The highest selectivity to a mixture of linear deoxygenated C4, C5, and C6 products at 80percent conversion was favoured under high pressure in the presence of 3.7wt.percentRh-3.5wt.percentReOx/ZrO2 catalysts (54–71percent under 80 bar) at 200 °C.

Poly(methylhydrosiloxane) (PMHS) has been examined for its ability to reduce and subsequently cyclize carbohydrate substrates using catalytic tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (BCF). The work herein is the first reported example of the direct conversion of monosaccharides to 1,4-anhydro and 2,5-anhydro products utilizing a hydrosiloxane reducing agent. PMHS is produced from waste products of the silicone industry, making it a green alternative to traditional hydrosilane reducing agents. This work thus contributes to the goal of utilizing renewable feedstocks in the production of fine-chemicals.
Mesoporous Al-promoted sulfated zirconia as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst to synthesize isosorbide from sorbitol
Zhang, Yi,Chen, Tong,Zhang, Gang,Wang, Gongying,Zhang, Hua
, p. 258 - 266 (2018/06/26)
Mesoporous aluminum-promoted sulfated zirconia (named as mAl-SZ) was directly prepared by grind method, and firstly used to catalyze the solvent-free dehydration of sorbitol to isosorbide. The physicochemical properties of as-prepared catalysts were characterized by FT-IR, TGA, XRD, N2 sorption, NH3-TPD and pyridine-infrared (IR) spectroscopy techniques in order to elucidate the relevance of the catalyst properties and the catalytic performance. It was found that the catalysts prepared by grind method possessed mesoporous structures with high surface area, pure tetragonal phase as well as high sulfur contents, which were advantage to eliminate diffusion limitation and generate abundant acidic sites, especially Br?nsted acidic sites. Furthermore, aluminum promoters could contribute to the considerable increase of the strong acidic sites and ratio of Br?nsted to Lewis acidic sites. Consequently, the mesoporous sulfated zirconia with 6 mol% Al-promoter (6Al-SZ) attained porous structure with improved acidic properties, thus showing the optimal catalytic behavior. The full sorbitol conversion with 73% isosorbide selectivity was achieved under milder conditions (175 °C, 2 h) than those of similar type of catalysts. In addition, the 6Al-SZ exhibited favorable reusability with insignificant drop in isosorbide yield during five reaction cycles.
