Claim:
1. A method of deconstructing biomass to produce a reaction product, the method comprising: A. catalytically reacting water and a water-soluble C B. reacting the biomass processing solvent with a biomass component at a deconstruction temperature and a deconstruction pressure to produce a reaction product, the reaction product comprising a biomass hydrolysate, an organic phase, and a solid phase, wherein the biomass hydrolysate comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of a water-soluble lignocellulose derivative, a water-soluble cellulose derivative, a water-soluble hemicellulose derivative, a water-soluble lignin derivative, a carbohydrate, a starch, a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, a polysaccharide, a sugar, a sugar alcohol, an alditol, a polyol, and a phenol, and wherein the biomass component is a solid, wood material biomass component comprising two or more members selected from the group consisting of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose.
