Chitin is marine biomass and contains in crustacean. N-acetylglucosamine (NAG), which is a monomer of chitin, can be feedstock of various valuable nitrogen-containing chemicals. In this study, we perform NAG conversion to 3-acetylamino-5-acetylfuran (3A5AF), which is platform compound to pharmaceuticals and nitrogen-containing aromatic compounds, over ion-exchanged montmorillonite. This is a first report of NAG conversion to 3A5AF with a solid catalyst.
