Application

5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF) can be used in the synthesis of:
  • Furan-2,5-dicarboxaldehyde (FDA) using a vanadyl phosphate-based catalyst via selective oxidation.
  • Prepolymer and antiviral precursor, 5,5′-oxy(bismethylene)-2-furaldehyde (OBMF) using solid acid catalysts via etherification reaction.
  • Diformylfurane (DFF) by aerobic oxidation using pyridine-vanadyl complexes.
