Abstract

Correction for ‘Green catalytic conversion of bio-based sugars to 5-chloromethyl furfural in deep eutectic solvent, catalyzed by metal chlorides’ by Miao Zuo et al., RSC Adv., 2016, 6, 27004–27007.


The authors regret that in the original article the structure of fructose in Scheme 1 is incorrect. A revised version of Scheme 1, in which the orientations of some of the fructose hydroxyls have been corrected, is presented below.

Scheme 1 Plausible mechanism for the conversion of fructose into 5-CMF in DES–MIBK system catalyzed by AlCl3·6H2O.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
