CATEGORY

2,5-Furandimethanol (2,5-FDM or BHMF) is a significant biomass-derived organic compound. Its molecular structure features a furan ring and two hydroxymethyl groups, thereby combining the aromaticity of the furan ring with the reactivity characteristic of aliphatic diols. Typically, this substance presents as a white to pale yellow solid powder and is hygroscopic. As a pivotal platform compound bridging biomass resources with high-value-added chemicals, 2,5-furandimethanol is primarily synthesized through the selective hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF); alternatively, it can be obtained via biocatalysis or through the direct conversion of mono- or polysaccharides.

Function

In the field of polymer materials, it serves as a key monomer for the synthesis of high-performance polyesters (such as polyethylene furanoate, PEF) and polyurethanes; it holds promise as a substitute for traditional petroleum-based polyols, thereby facilitating the transition toward bio-based and biodegradable materials.

In the realms of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals, it functions as a solvent, surfactant, and plasticizer, as well as a crucial intermediate for the synthesis of nucleoside derivatives, crown ethers, and pharmaceutical molecules.

Furthermore, owing to the presence of two reactive hydroxyl groups within its structure, it can undergo a variety of chemical reactions—including esterification, etherification, and oxidation—giving rise to a wide array of high value-added products.
