from glucose, since previous studies identified Cr as a privileged
metal for this reaction. Non-shredded scrap leather pieces
promote the transformation of glucose into 5-HMF in DMSO. It is
remarkable that a material that is not specifically designed for
catalytic applications results in yields comparable to those
presented in recent reports (28% in this work vs 20 to 60% max
yield in recent reports, see Table S1).[49–52] Notably, at low catalyst
loadings LGO is also obtained in reasonable yields, and this is a
particularly interesting product (solvent, chemical building block,
etc[17]). We anticipate that other chemical reactions can be

Typical catalytic experiment
D-glucose (50 mg) and pieces of leather (20 - 200 mg) were placed in a
10 mL flask. The flask was then equipped with a magnetic stirrer. DMSO-
d6 (1 mL) was added and the flask was then sealed. The reaction mixture
was heated to the appropriate temperature (typically 165 °C) in a pre-
heated oil bath. After the appropriate time (0.5 to 25 h), the mixture was
allowed to cool to room temperature. The internal standard (CH
added and a sample (0.5 mL) was removed, filtered and analyzed by
NMR spectroscopy. The identity of 5-HMF was confirmed by GC-MS. LGO
was identified by comparisons to reported H and C NMR spectra. FA
was identified by peak comparison in the 1H NMR spectrum of a crude
reaction mixture before and after the addition of pure, commercial FA.
