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 ...
The name "furan" comes from the Latin furfur, which means bran [5] (furfural is produced from bran). The first furan derivative to be described was 2-furoic acid, by Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1780. Another important derivative, furfural, was reported by Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner in 1831 and characterised nine years later by John Stenhouse.
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-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]
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-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 ...
This can be economically viable if the products can be separated and both have a value; the commercial conversion of furfural into furfuryl alcohol and 2-furoic acid is an example of this. [6] Alternatively, higher yields of one product (usually the alcohol) can be achieved in the crossed Cannizzaro reaction , in which a sacrificial aldehyde is ...
