Abstract

Hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and cyanuric chloride are found to be high efficient homogeneous catalysts for dehydration of fructose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural under mild conditions. The P–Cl or C–Cl bonds play important roles in the reaction, and the strong interaction between the fructose and the electron-withdrawing substituent will help to promote the dehydration.
