A range of carbohydrates has been rapidly and selectively converted to 5-chloromethyl furfural using microwave heating in a biphasic reaction system with a range of organic solvents. Fructose and inulin were especially effective for production of this valuable bio-platform molecule, with yields of >70% obtained in 15 minutes under microwave heating. Yields from cellulose were dramatically increased with ball mill pre-treatment, this being associated with a reduction in polysaccharide crystallinity.
