2,5-Furandimethanol

Description2,5-Furandimethanol is white or internally white solid in appearance, soluble in water, ethanol, acetone, pyridine, tetrahydrofuran, but insoluble in ethane, toluene, and dichloroethane.

Description5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfuryl alcohol is a heterocyclic organic compound that is naturally produced by certain wood-inhabiting fungi. It can be derived by the reduction of the formyl group of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfuryl alcohol can be used as a building block in the enzymatic synthesis of biobased polyesters.

Uses5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfuryl Alcohol is a secondary metabolite of Xylaramide, a new antifungal compound.

Preparation1. Preparation of adsorbent:Add 100Kg of ADS-17 medium polar adsorption resin, 5Kg of diethyl maleate, 0.5Kg of 2-methyl-4- (2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopentene into the 2000L reactor -1-yl)-2-buten-1-ol, 700Kg water, 2Kg polyvinyl alcohol, 1Kg benzoyl peroxide, reacted at 80°C for 6h and then heated to 85°C for 2h, then heated to 95° C react for 6h, filter and dry to obtain adsorbent;2 ·Adsorption purification of 2,5-furandimethanol:Mix 100Kg of technical grade 2,5-furandimethanol and 1000Kg of deionized water at 90°C for 3 hours, and then pass through a chromatography column equipped with adsorbent for adsorption at a temperature of 90°C and a flow rate of 3BV/h. After dehydration, a purified product of 2,5-furandimethanol can be obtained.
