Conversion of cellulose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural over vanadium-modified Dawson polyoxometalate catalysts.

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), an emerging platform compound, holds significant potential in chemical synthesis and is widely applicable in the production of biofuels, biodegradable plastics, and fine chemicals. While acid-catalyzed dehydration of…
