Formation and Growth of Humins via Aldol Addition and Condensation during Acid-Catalyzed Conversion of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural

Patil, Sushil K. R., Lund, Carl R. F.·2011·Energy & Fuels

Abstract

The acid-catalyzed conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) produces levulinic and formic acids in equal amounts. Dark-colored solids, known as humins, are also formed in a parallel reaction. Aldol addition and condensation are proposed as important reactions in the acid-catalyzed growth of humins, adding HMF to 2,5-dioxo-6-hydroxy-hexanal. Consistent with this proposal, infrared (IR) spectra of humins formed from HMF indicate that the furan ring and hydroxymethyl group of HMF are present in the humins, but the carbonyl group is not. Similarly, if a mixture of HMF and benzaldehyde are processed, IR spectra of the humins indicate the additional presence of the aromatic ring from benzaldehyde but not its carbonyl group. The incorporation of the aromatic ring from benzaldehyde in the humins demonstrates the possibility of functionalizing humins to increase their value.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
