Abstract
O at 120 °C for 120 minutes. The addition of an appropriate amount of water is beneficial for promoting 5-HMF production in ChCl-fructose and ChCl-glucose DESs. The high viscosities of ChCl-fructose and ChCl-glucose DESs can be attributed to a strong intermolecular force, resulting in a large mass transfer resistance. Overall, this work provides an efficient and inexpensive approach for producing 5-HMF in ChCl-fructose and ChCl-glucose DESs.
