5-Hydroxymethylfurfural / HMF CAS 67-47-0
HMF is the only platform compound with an aromatic ring among bio-based new materials. It can be used to prepare high-value-added derivatives such as furanyl dicarboxylic acid (FDCA), tetrahydrofurandimethyl methanol (THFDM), dimethyl furanyl dicarboxylate (FDME), and furanyl dicarboxaldehyde (DFF) through chemical reactions such as hydrogenation, oxidation, and esterification.

5-HMF—A “Golden Intermediate” for Bio-based Materials
5-HMF can be used in green chemical products such as bioplastics, biofuels, and resins.
Biomass is an abundant renewable resource in nature, containing approximately 70% carbohydrates, which can be further used in the production of high-value platform chemicals. 2,5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is an important platform compound that is a prerequisite for the synthesis of biofuels, green solvents, and green polymers.
HMF is usually produced efficiently from hexoses through a dehydration reaction, a process that has significant advantages over petroleum-based products in terms of environmental and ecological benefits.
