Description

Method for preparing furan by converting furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in one pot
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of compound synthesis methods.
Background
The conversion of biomass into valuable chemicals is of great significance for sustainable survival and development. Lignocellulose is the most abundant biomass resource on earth and mainly consists of three parts, namely cellulose (accounting for 30-50% of dry matter weight), hemicellulose (accounting for 20-40% of dry matter weight) and lignin (accounting for 15-25% of dry matter weight). Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural are very attractive biomass-based platform compounds derived from hydrolysates of hemicellulose and cellulose, respectively.
Furan is the simplest oxygen-containing five-membered heterocyclic compound, wherein the furan ring has aromatic ring property, electrophilic substitution reactions such as halogenation, nitration and sulfonation can occur, and the furan can be directly used as a solvent and can also be used for organic synthesis, such as pyrrole, thiophene, tetrahydrofuran and the like. Tetrahydrofuran is an important organic synthetic raw material and is a solvent with excellent performance, is particularly suitable for dissolving polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride and butylaniline, and is widely used as a solvent for surface coatings, anticorrosive coatings, printing inks and film coatings and also used as a reaction solvent. The decarbonylation of furfural, which is obtained by the dehydrocyclization of five-carbon sugars, to prepare furan followed by further catalytic hydrogenation is considered as a promising effective alternative to the industrial production of tetrahydrofuran from fossil fuels, and researchers have conducted a great deal of research work (Jung, k.j., Gaset, a.,1988.Biomass 16, 63-76; Zhang w., Zhu y., Niu s., et al.,2011. j.mol.cat.a 335, 71-81; Ishida t., Kume k., Kinjo k., et al.,2016.ChemSusChem 9, 1-8; dik., Shi x., Alotaibi r., et al.,2017.j.org.chem.82, 4924-4929). However, research on preparation of furan from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural synthesized from hexose is only reported, and the development of a simple method for preparing furan by converting furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural simultaneously is the most important link for converting lignocellulose into furan to the maximum extent.
