CONVERSION OF CARBOHIDRATES ON MODIFIED GRAPHITE-LIKE CARBON NITRIDES

The new efficient heterogeneous catalysts on the basis of modified polymer carbon nitrides are developed for the conversion of hexose carbohydrates to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF) – the most important basic compounds for the modern chemical industry. Carbon nitride was modified by interaction with HCl, PCl5 and CrCl3. The structure and composition of the modified carbon nitrides have been studied by IR- spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Established, that propounded catalysts provide the selective conversion of hexose carbohydrates into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with a minimum yield of humic compounds under mild conditions
