Solving problems: An isopropyl alcohol-mediated reaction system for the production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from fructose reaches a yield of up to 87 %. The solvent can be easily recycled by evaporation, giving the HMF product. The system avoids the use of large amounts of organic solvent, has a minimal environmental impact, and offers a new route to large-scale economically viable processes.

Page/Page column 35; 36; 37, (2013/04/10)
Disclosed herein is a process for preparing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural comprising the step of contacting a carbohydrate and a Br?nsted acid in an alcoholic solvent comprising an alcohol selected from the group consisting of secondary alcohols, tertiary alcohols, aryl alcohols and combinations thereof under conditions to dehydrate the carbohydrate thereby forming a reaction product containing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.
