In a one-pot method, Bronsted acidic ionic liquid (BAIL)-catalyzed hydrolysis of hardwood hemicellulose at 160 degrees C in water media gave C5 sugars (xylose + arabinose) in 87% yield. The efficiency of the ILs and their acid strength both followed the similar trend, [C3SO3HMIM][HSO4] &amp;gt; [C3SO3HMIM][PTS] &amp;gt; [C3SO3HMIM][Cl] &amp;gt; [BMIM][Cl]. The ion-dipole-type interaction present between the BAIL and the substrate, which is proposed by the H-1 NMR study, is suggested to help in achieving better activity with BAIL than with mineral acid, H2SO4.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5.287</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
