Various BAILs were synthesized and characterized using NMR, FT-IR, TGA, and CHNS microanalysis and were used as the catalyst for raw biomass conversion. The remarkably high yield (i.e. 88%) of C5 sugars from bagasse can be obtained using 1-methyl-3(3-sulfopropyl)-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([C3SO3HMIM][HSO4]) BAIL catalyst in a water medium. Similarly, the [C3SO3HMIM][HSO4] BAIL also converts the bagasse into furfural with very high yield (73%) in one-pot method using a water/toluene biphasic solvent system.1 aMatsagar, Babasaheb, M.1 aHossain, Shahriar, A.1 aIslam, Tofazzal1 aAlamri, Hatem, R.1 aAlothman, Zeid, A.1 aYamauchi, Yusuke1 aDhepe, Paresh, L.1 aWu, Kevin, C.
