Abstract

Cellulose was effectively converted to glucose in hydrophobic ionic liquids such as [TMPA][NTf2] in the presence of HCl and LiCl. The yield of glucose reached up to 51% and ionic liquids were successfully recycled over several iterations. Obtained glucose and LiCl was effectively separated by treatment with acetone–iPrOH.
