Furfural is an organic compound with the formula C 4 H 3 OCHO. It is a colorless liquid, although commercial samples are often brown. It is a colorless liquid, although commercial samples are often brown.
Furfuryl alcohol is manufactured industrially by hydrogenation of furfural, which is itself typically produced from waste bio-mass such as corncobs or sugar cane bagasse. As such furfuryl alcohol may be considered a green chemical. [5] One-pot systems have been investigated to produce furfuryl alcohol directly from xylose using solid acid ...
Furan resin refers to polymers produced from various furan compounds, [1] of which the most common starting materials are furfuryl alcohol and furfural. In the resin and in the cured polyfurfurol, the furan rings are not connected by conjugation. The resins are generally used as binders for sand castings.
5-Methylfurfuryl alcohol is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 8 O 2.It is one of many volatile compounds present in Nicotiana tabacum, [3] and is formed from the reduction of 5-methylfurfural, [4] a compound formed from the reduction of 5-bromo-or 5-chloromethylfurfural. [5]
5-Methylfurfural is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 6 O 2.An aldehyde that is derived through various extractions and reductions from cellulose products, [5] [6] it has applications as a synthetic intermediate [7] relevant to the fields of medicine, agriculture and cosmetics. [8]
The current industrial route involves the Cannizaro reaction of furfural in an aqueous NaOH solution. This is a disproportionation reaction and produces a 1:1 ratio of 2-furoic acid and furfuryl alcohol (a 50% yield of each). [ 6 ]
Example of furfurylated pine wood with a loading level of 30–35%) Furfurylated wood is the end product of treating wood with furfuryl alcohol.This chemical process is also called furfurylation.
5-Amino-1-pentanol is an amino alcohol with a primary amino group and a primary hydroxy group at the ends of a linear C 5-alkanes.As a derivative of the platform chemical furfural (that is easily accessible from pentoses), 5-amino-1-pentanol may become increasingly important in the future as a building block for biodegradable polyesteramides and as a starting material for valerolactam — the ...
