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 ] Hydrogenation of furfural provides furfuryl alcohol (FA), which is used to produce furan resins , which are exploited in thermoset polymer matrix ...
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 ...
2-Furanone is prepared by oxidation of furfural: [2] It exists in equilibrium with the tautomer 2-hydroxyfuran, which serves as an intermediate in the interconversion between the β- and α-furanones. [further explanation needed] The β form is the more stable. The interconversion is catalyzed by base.
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]
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 ...
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]
2,5-BHMF may be obtained from the reduction of the formyl group of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). HMF is the product of acid-catalyzed dehydration of fructose.Fructose is both an isomer of and a derivative of glucose, which can be derived from the hydrolysis of cellulose.
2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C 5 H 10 O. It is a highly flammable, mobile liquid. It is mainly used as a replacement for Tetrahydrofuran (THF) in specialized applications for its better performance, such as to obtain higher reaction temperatures, or easier separations (as, unlike THF, it is not miscible with water).
