Abstract
We synthesized 5hydroxymethylfurfural HMF from carbohydrates using metal chloride catalysts A 332 yield of HMF was obtained from raw Dioscorea composita biomass with high starch by using a catalyst system composed of CrCl3·6H2O and LaCl3·6H2O at 120 °C for 4 h in NNdimethylacetamide containing lithium chloride The catalyst system is also costeffective for the conversion of soluble starch into HMF In addition levulinic acid was not formed in the reactions
