Acid-catalyzed conversion of Xylose in 20 solvents: Insight into interactions of the solvents with Xylose, Furfural, and the Acid Catalyst

In this study, the acid-catalyzed conversion of xylose to furfural was investigated in 20 solvents ranging from water, alcohol, ketones, furans, ethers, esters, hydrocarbons, and aromatics with the aim to understand their involvement in each step from xylose to furfural. Compared with water, alcohol...
