Abstract
5‐Hydroxymethylfurfuraldehyde (HMF) was prepared from high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), or crystalline D‐fructose, in high yield and purity. A 95–97% conversion of fructose to HMF was achieved using 25 mol% (based on fructose) boron trifluoride etherate catalyst in dimethyl sulphoxide, under a nitrogen atmosphere, a reaction temperature of 273 K and 30 min reaction time. Inferior yields of HMF were obtained from glucose and starch.Keywords
