Working with real samples: Aqueous solutions of FeCl 3 –NaCl (or seawater) dehydrate xylose to afford furfural, which can extracted in situ into 2‐MTHF as second phase. Furfural is successfully obtained when aqueous nonpurified xylose effluents directly from lignocellulose fractionation are tested.
