The Uses of 5-Chloromethylfurfural

5-(Chloromethyl)furfural is a lipid oxidation product derived from soybean phospholipids. It is a biofuel precursor in the co-processing of carbohydrates and lipids in oil crops for production of hybrid biodiesel.

What are the applications of Application

5-(Chloromethyl)furfural is a biofuel precursor used to co-process oil crops into biodiesel

What are the applications of Application

5-Chloromethylfurfural is a biofuel that can be made from the reaction of hydrochloric acid and furfural. It is used as a feedstock for the production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, which is an important intermediate in the synthesis of many other chemicals. 5-Chloromethylfurfural has been isolated at a yield of 57% from reactions between furfural and chlorine gas. The use of solid catalysts have improved this yield to 68%. It has high chemical stability and can withstand temperatures up to 200°C without decomposition. It also reacts with fatty acids to form amides.
