Effects of water and alcohols on the polymerization of furan during its acid-catalyzed conversion into benzofuran
Furan, an important product from catalytic pyrolysis of biomass, has the potential to be further converted into value-added chemicals or biofuels. This study investigated the conversion of furan into benzofuran over a Brønsted acid catalyst (Amberlyst 70) at 140-190°C in various solvents. With water...
