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 ...
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-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]
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-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 chemical process is also called furfurylation. Furfurylation is a commercially used wood modification process [1] to enhance the physical, mechanical and biological properties of wood. In this process -which is based on principles of wood science- the cell walls of the wood swell with furfuryl alcohol, which polymerizes within the cell ...
2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is an organic chemical compound consisting of two carboxylic acid groups attached to a central furan ring. It was first reported as dehydromucic acid by Rudolph Fittig and Heinzelmann in 1876, who produced it via the action of concentrated hydrobromic acid upon mucic acid. [2]
