Methods and systems for producing isosorbide from biomass are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of producing isosorbide from biomass may include contacting biomass, a catalyst mixture of a noble metal and a first solid acid, and hydrogen to form a first reaction mixture, and heating the first reaction mixture to form at least one intermediate compound. Further, the intermediate compound is contacted with a second solid acid to form a second reaction mixture, and heating the second reaction mixture to form isosorbide. 1. A method of producing isosorbide from a biomass , the method comprising:contacting biomass, a catalyst mixture of a noble metal and a first solid acid, and hydrogen to form a first reaction mixture;heating the first reaction mixture to form at least one intermediate compound;contacting the at least one intermediate compound with a second solid acid to form a second reaction mixture;heating the second reaction mixture to form isosorbide; andisolating the isosorbide.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein contacting the biomass comprises contacting a carbohydrate claim 1 , polysaccharide claim 1 , monosaccharide claim 1 , disaccharide claim 1 , cellulose claim 1 , lignin claim 1 , starch claim 1 , pentose claim 1 , or any combination thereof.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein heating the first reaction mixture comprises heating to form a depolymerization product of biomass selected from a monosaccharide claim 1 , a disaccharide claim 1 , sorbitol claim 1 , sorbitan claim 1 , or any combination thereof4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising removing the catalyst mixture from the at least one intermediate compound prior to contacting the at least one intermediate compound with the second solid acid.5. The method of claim 1 , wherein contacting the catalyst mixture comprises contacting the catalyst mixture comprising a noble metal including Au claim 1 , Pt claim 1 , Pd claim 1 , Ir claim 1 , Os claim 1 , Ag claim 1 , Rh claim 1 , Ru claim 1 , or any ...
