Abstract

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.
