Abstract
Abstract 5‐(Chloromethyl)furfural (CMF), a versatile bio‐platform molecule, was first synthesized in a three‐constituent deep eutectic solvent (3c‐DES) including choline chloride, AlCl 3 ⋅ 6H 2 O, and oxalic acid. In particular, 3c‐DES was conducive for the production of CMF from glucose and provided a CMF yield of 70 % at 120 °C within 30 min. In addition, CMF yields reached up to 86, 80, 30, 29, and 35 % from fructose, sucrose, cellulose, bamboo, and bamboo pulp, respectively. This study opens new avenues for the preparation of CMF.
