摘要
In this contribution, one-pot tandem conversion of fructose into biofuel components, including 5-ethoxymethylfurfural（EMF）, 2,5-（bis（ethoxymethyl）furan（BEMF） and ethyl levulinate（EL）, was performed in an in-situ generated catalyst system through consecutive dehydration, etherification, and transfer hydrogenation. Specifically, ZrOCl2·8H2O was in-situ decomposed into HCl and ZrO（OH）2 in ethanol, which effectively catalyzed the dehydration/etherification of fructose to 5-ethoxymethylfurfural（EMF） and subsequent reductive etherification of EMF using ethanol as H-donor, respectively. EMF, BEMF and EL were detected as the main products, and total yield of detectable products of up to 65.4% was obtained at 200 ℃ in only 2 h.
