A nonenzymatic route for xylose isomerization in an aqueous medium using zeolite Sn-beta as a catalyst is demonstrated. Xylulose and lyxose are the primary and secondary products. the maximum yield to xylulose is 27%, with an 11% yield to lyxose at similar to 60% xylose conversion at 100 degrees C. When the Sn-beta zeolite is combined with a Bronsted acid catalyst, furfural forms in a single pot from xylose in an aqueos medium at much lower temperature than typically employed for this reaction.
