Abstract
In this study, chemo-enzymatic synthesis of furfuralcohol (FOL) from corncob was attempted by sequential catalysis of HCOOH (1.0 wt%)-assisted solid acid SO42−/SnO2-montmorillonite (2.0 wt%) at 180 °C for 10 min under microwave (600 W) and recombinant Escherichia coli CCZU-T15 whole-cells bioreduction for 4 h at 30 °C and pH 6.5. Furfural was obtained at 40.2% yield, and it (77.8 mM) could be completely biotransformed to FOL. Moreover, efficient biocatalyst recycling was achieved with immobilized cells. Clearly, this strategy has potential application for the effective synthesis of FOL from corncob.
