Abstract | Cited by

Molten dicationic imidazolium chloride or bromide salts, with short alkyl linker chains, have been found to be stable, re-usable media for the controlled pyrolysis of cellulose without acid pre-treatment to give anhydrosugars, primarily levoglucosenone, at a substantially lower temperature (180 °C) than most previously reported methods (typically > 300 °C).
