5-(Halomethyl)furfurals from Biomass and Biomass-Derived Sugars

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Production of Platform Chemicals from Sustainable Resources

Part of the book series: Biofuels and Biorefineries ((BIOBIO))

Abstract

5-(Halomethyl)furfurals (XMFs) are biomass-derived platform chemicals that are gaining traction as practical alternatives to 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF). This chapter provides an overview of the historical role of XMFs in the chemical investigation of carbohydrates and describes multiple approaches to their preparation, including recent breakthroughs by which XMFs, and in particular 5-(chloromethyl)furfural (CMF), are obtained in high yield directly from raw biomass. Halomethylfurfurals have two basic derivative manifolds: furanic and levulinic, and this chapter will highlight commercial markets that can be unlocked by synthetic manipulation of CMF and its immediate derivatives.
