As precursors for niobium species and carrier ammonium niobate(V) oxalate hydrate and humins were used. Characterization of the resulted catalysts indicated bi-functional acid-base niobium species anchored onto a highly hydrophobic graphite-like carbon structure. These catalysts were investigated in the one-pot conversion of glucose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in a biphasic system consisting of a mixture of a 20 wt% NaCl aqueous solution phase and an organic extracting phase (methyl-isobutyl-ketone (MIBK), 2-tert-butylphenol (TBP) or 2-sec-butylphenol (SBP)). The optimization conditions afforded the highest yield to HMF (96 %) for the GHNb1.2 catalyst (with 2.5 wt%Nb), the base/acid sites ratio of 1.76, in biphasic TBP/water system, at 180 °C after 8 h.Show less >
