Procedure

Five grams of a commercially available D-glucose and 97.6 mg of sodium laurylbenzenesulfonate were added to the same three-necked flask. Then, 5 ml of water and 30 ml of toluene were added thereto and the mixture was stirred. Thereafter, a molar excess of hydrogen chloride was passed through the mixture at room temperature for about 25 minutes. Stirring was continued at 50° C. for a further 7 hours. The reaction solution was diluted with a little water and filtered through Celite while being washed with toluene. The upper toluene layer was neutralized, dried and concentrated to obtain about 1.4 g of 5-chloromethylfurfural.
