In this study, heterogeneous cyclization of sorbitol to isosorbide under basic condition was realized for the first time with a novel porous polymer-supported ionic liquid as catalyst. These polymer-supported ILs were synthesized through the suspension polymerization of 4-vinylbenzyl chloride and divinylbenzene, followed by a quaternization reaction. As compared to those of non-porous, the porous polymers had high specific surface area and large number of active sites. Consequently, they exhibited excellent catalytic activity in the cyclization of sorbitol with dimethylcarbonate (DMC) to isosorbide. As a result, a high conversion of sorbitol (99%) was achieved with 83% yield of isosorbide under optimized conditions. Importantly, the catalysts could be easily separated by decantation and reused for five times without obvious loss of catalytic activity.

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
