a: Reaction conditions: carbohydrate feedstock (0.5 mmol), o-PDA (2 mmol), H2O (20 mL), N2 (2 MPa). For the reactions with alkalis, 0.15 mmol alkali was employed except for Ca(OH)2 (7.5 × 10−2 mmol instead). b: Yields are based on average value from duplicate experiments with error <2%, determined by gas chromatography (GC). Values in parentheses and brackets indicate the isolated and NMR yields, respectively. c: AlCl3 and SnCl2 (10 mol% each) were employed. d: Sn-Beta (3 mol%, based on Sn content) were employed. Mass balance is not complete due to undesired competitive reactions of the Maillard type and/or caramelization.
