Researchers at the Singapore Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (DFT) announced on September 2, 2010 that they had validated fructose catalytic dehydration into 5-hydroxymethylphenidate (5-HMF), which can then be converted by
into plastic, petroleum or diesel incremental agents, or diesel fuel, at room temperature.
singapore research team believes that high yields and excellent recycling capabilities make the system a promising choice for fructose dehydration. The DFT's calculations suggest that "switching" dehydration with solvents can be a thermodynamically unworkable and thermodynamically feasible reaction.
the study was published September 1 in the journal ChemSusChem.
August 2010, a team at Tohoku University in Japan reported an efficient method of converting glucose into 5-hydroxy methylphenidate (5-HMF) using the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methyl-methyl-chloride as a solvent in the presence of crCl3 catalysts.
