Solvent-Free Preparation of 5-(α-D-Glucosyloxymethyl)furfural from Isomaltulose–Choline Chloride Melts

Zusammenfassung

5-(alpha-D-Glucosyloxymethyl)furfural, a versatile building block from renewable resources, was prepared from isomaltulose-choline chloride melts by acid catalysis. In this solvent-free process, moderate yields were achieved under mild reaction conditions.
