Abstract

Heterogeneous catalysts are desired for the conversion of glucose, the most abundant sugar in renewable biomass, but presently their synthesis requires highly toxic chemicals with long synthesis times. We report the conversion of glucose to fructose and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural on a heterogeneous catalyst that is stable and selective and operates in most environmentally benign solvent, water. We used a bi-functional solid with Lewis and Brønsted acid sites by partially replacing the organic linker of the zirconium organic framework UiO-66 with 2-mono-sulfo-benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate. This catalyst shows high product selectivity (90 %) of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and fructose at 140°C in water after 3 h reaction. It is recyclable and shows only minor loss of activity after a 3rd recycle, offering a realistic solution for the bottleneck reaction of glucose isomerization for scale up and industrial application of biomass utilization.
