Abstract:
Working with real samples: Aqueous solutions of FeCl3–NaCl (or seawater) dehydrate xylose to afford furfural, which can extracted in situ into 2-MTHF as second phase. Furfural is successfully obtained when aqueous nonpurified xylose effluents directly from lignocellulose fractionation are tested.
