5-(Ethoxymethyl)furfural (EMF) was produced from glucose in ethanol in a single reactor at 90 C. The reaction proceeds via the isomerization of glucose to fructose with zeolite Sn-Beta, a Lewis acid catalyst. Fructose is converted to 5(hydroxymethyl)furfural, which is then etherified to EMF using a Bronsted acid catalyst, Arnberlyst 131. An EMF yield of 31% was achieved.
