Furfural is used to make other furan derivatives, such as furoic acid, via oxidation, [30] and furan itself via palladium catalyzed vapor phase decarbonylation. [ 4 ] There is a good market for value added chemicals that can be obtained from furfural.
Methoxymethylfurfural (MMF or 5-methoxymethylfuran-2-carbaldehyde) is an organic compound derived from dehydration of sugars and subsequent etherification with methanol. [1] This colorless liquid is soluble in a wide range of solvents including lower alcohols.
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 ]
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.
Furfuryl alcohol is an organic compound containing a furan substituted with a hydroxymethyl group. It is a colorless liquid, but aged samples appear amber. It possesses a faint odor of burning and a bitter taste. It is miscible with but unstable in water. It is soluble in common organic solvents. [4]
The particles eminating from burning scented wax melts indoors can create a “tremendous amount” of indoor air pollution — similar to pollution caused by diesel engines.
Hints and the solution for today's Wordle on Monday, February 17.
2,5-Furandicarboxaldehyde (FDC) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C 4 H 2 O(CHO) 2. It consists of a furan ring with aldehyde groups on the 2 and 5 position. It is therefore classified as a dialdehyde .
