5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a key renewable platform compound for production of fuels and chemical intermediates [1-4]. The production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from fructose dehydration was studied using a magnetic tetrazole-based ionic liquid as a Bronsted acid catalyst, with different solvents (Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and dimethylacetamide (DMAc)). The synthesized catalyst was characterized by powder XRD, EDS, FESEM and FT-IR. The effect of fructose concentration, temperature and acid concentration and catalyst loading was investigated in DMAc/DMSO medium.
