HMF was found to alkylate toluene, anisole and mesitylene in high yields and high selectivity under solvent free conditions. Polyalkylation and self etherification of HMF was not observed. The alkylated product on hydrodeoxygenation forms liquid alkanes of different chain lengths which have properties of transportation fuels or diesel fuels. The catalyst was easily recoverable and reusable minimum 5 times to achieve good yields and high selectivity of alkylated product.1 aNale, S., D.1 aJadhav, V., H.1 a  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/synthesis-fuel-intermediates-hmffructose00932nas a2200145   4500008004100000245006000041210005900101260000800160300001400168490000700182520046900189100001700658700001900675856009200694       2016                        eng d00aSynthesis of tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase i inhibitors0 aSynthesis of tyrosylDNA phosphodiesterase i inhibitors  cJUN  a2652-26540 v573 aThe first report for the synthesis of tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase I inhibitors 3,4-dimethoxyphenol-1-β-d-(6′-O-galloyl)glucopyranoside 3 and 3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propane-1,2-diol 2-β-d-(6′-O-galloyl) glucopyranoside 5 has been accomplished starting from readily available d-glucose as a starting material.

The catalyst was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analyses. Superior catalytic activity was shown by the catalyst toward one-pot synthesis of DFF using molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant. The catalyst was found to be highly selective in synthesis of 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) from hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), fructose, and, more importantly, from glucose with excellent yields. Moreover, the catalyst was easily recycled and reused without any significant loss in its catalytic activity.1 aRathod, P., V.1 aNale, S., D.1 aJadhav, V., H.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/metal-free-acid-base-catalyst-selective-synthesis-25-diformylfuran-hydroxynnethylfurfural
