Isosorbide is a bio-based functional diol, which is prepared by sequential dehydration of sorbitol and widely used in plasticizers, monomers, solvents or pharmaceuticals. In this study, a variety of acidified Nb2O5catalysts were prepared and used for the sequential dehydration of sorbitol to isosorbide. Acidification can effectively regulate the surface acidity of catalysts, which was measured by pyridine infrared spectroscopy and NH3-TPD analysis. The catalytic performance was related to the surface acidity, including the reaction temperature and the amount of catalysts. After optimization of reaction conditions, the yield of isosorbide reached 84.1% with complete sorbitol conversion during reaction at 150 °C for 3 h over 2 M sulfuric acid modified Nb2O5. Finally, the reaction mechanism regarding the role of Lewis acid sites was discussed. This study is of great significance for further development of an efficient catalytic system for the dehydration of carbohydrates to isosorbide.

Intramolecular dehydration of the biomass-derived hexitols D-sorbitol, D-mannitol, and galactitol was investigated. These reactions were performed in high-temperature water at 523–573 K without added acid catalyst. The rate constants for the dehydration steps in the reaction networks were determined at various reaction temperatures, and the activation energies and pre-exponential factors were calculated from Arrhenius plots. The yield of each product was estimated as a function of reaction time and temperature using the calculated rate constants and activation energies. The maximum yield of each product from the dehydration reactions was predicted over a range of reaction time and temperature, allowing the selective production of these important platform chemicals.
