Abstract One-pot two-step synthesis of DFF was achieved by catalytic conversion of glucose over CrCl 3· 6H 2 O/NaBr//NaVO 3· 2H 2 O catalysts, and a DFF yield of 55% based on glucose was obtained. This glucose conversion process is characterized by the abundance and low cost of starting material and no need for HMF separation or purification. Graphical Abstract An alternative one-pot one-step approach for the catalytic conversion of glucose ...
