Bifunctional heterogeneous catalysts derived from the coordination of adenosine monophosphate to Sn(iv) for effective conversion of sucrose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural

Adenosine 5′-monophosphate (AMP) with multiple functional groups was used for the synthesis of Sn-AMPs. The Sn-AMPs have both Brønsted acid and Lewis acid sites. The Sn-AMPs demonstrated a superior capability for catalyzing sugars into HMF.
