In petrochemical industry, furfural is utilized as a specialized chemical solvent for diene extraction. [27] Furfural is an important renewable, non-petroleum based, chemical feedstock which can be converted into solvents, polymers, fuels and other useful chemicals by a range of catalytic reduction. [28]
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 ...
Chemical compounds containing such rings are also referred to as furans. Furan is a colorless, flammable, highly volatile liquid with a boiling point close to room temperature. It is soluble in common organic solvents, including alcohol, ether, and acetone, and is slightly soluble in water. [2] Its odor is "strong, ethereal; chloroform-like". [3]
Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), also known as 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural, is an organic compound formed by the dehydration of reducing sugars. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] It is a white low-melting solid (although commercial samples are often yellow) which is highly soluble in both water and organic solvents.
5-Hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone is a furanone derived from oxidation of furfural using singlet oxygen. [1] [2] This oxidation is carried out generally in methanol or ethanol with a sensitizer like methylene blue or Rose bengal. The mechanism of this reaction is depicted as below.
2-Furoic acid is an organic compound, consisting of a furan ring and a carboxylic acid side-group. Along with other furans, its name is derived from the Latin word furfur, meaning bran, from which these compounds were first produced. [2]
Furoin synthesis from furfural is also catalyzed by vitamin B 1 (thiamine). In 1957, Ronald Breslow proposed that this reaction involves a relatively stable carbene form of thiamine. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In the catalytic cycle shown below two molecules of furfural react to give furoin, via a thiazol-2-ylidene catalyst , resulting from loss of one proton ...
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] It is a food additive, and has FEMA number 270s and ...
