Abstract

... Catalysis Communications. ... we introduce an efficient strategy for selective conversion of fructose and sucrose into HMF by using dicationic RTILs as catalysts. ... The dicationic [TetraEG(mim) 2 ][OMs] 2 IL represented itself as the most effective catalyst for the achievement of highest ...
