Abstract
The catalytic selective etherification of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF) is considered as a feasible route to prepare the biofuels from biomass feedstocks. In this work, a novel solid acid catalyst derived from the flower-like MoS2 is synthesized by combination of the facile hydrothermal method and reduction process. Therein, the number of Lewis and Bronsted acidic sites derived from the exposed Mo edges of MoS2 can be efficiently regulated by changing the hydrogen annealing conditions. The prepared MoS2-450-R catalyst exhibited a prominent activity for the conversion of 5-HMF to 5-(methoxymethyl)furanal dimethyl acetal (5-MFDMA) through the tandem acetalization and etherification under N2 atmosphere, in which a 99.0 % conversion with 83.7 % selectivity of 5-MFDMA is obtained. Further investigations revealed that the abundant acidic sites of MoS2-450-R plays a crucial role on the reaction of 5-HMF with methanol. Finally, based on the characterization of catalyst and reaction phenomena, a possible reaction network for the acetalization and etherification of 5-HMF with the methanol has been proposed.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Today focuses on the rapid publication of original invited papers devoted to currently important topics in catalysis and related subjects. The journal only publishes special issues (Proposing a Catalysis Today Special Issue), each of which is supervised by Guest Editors who recruit individual papers and oversee the peer review process. Catalysis Today offers researchers in the field of catalysis in-depth overviews of topical issues.
Both fundamental and applied aspects of catalysis are covered. Subjects such as catalysis of immobilized organometallic and biocatalytic systems are welcome. Subjects related to catalysis such as experimental techniques, adsorption, process technology, synthesis, in situ characterization, computational, theoretical modeling, imaging and others are included if there is a clear relationship to catalysis.
