Cover Story: Conversion of carbohydrates to furanic derivatives is of prime interest for many applications. In this reaction, catalyzed by an acid, the nature of the solvent play a key role in order to avoid secondary reactions which can hamper the development of some process at an industrial scale. The association of choline chloride and carbohydrates leading to the formation of low melting mixture or deep eutectic mixture in the presence of carboxylic acids helps to increase the selectivity to furanic derivatives by stabilizing effects and to use concentrated feed of carbohydrates.
