5-(Ethoxymethyl)Furan-2-Carbaldehyde

5-Ethoxymethyl furan-2-carbaldehyde (5-hmf) is a chemical compound with a hydroxyl group on the ring. It is a solid catalyst for the oxidative cleavage of levulinate to form 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and acetic acid. The 5-hmf reaction mechanism involves an oxidation catalyst, which has been shown to be most effective at higher temperatures. The 5-hmf chemical structure consists of nitrogen atoms, hydrogen bond, and a hydroxyl group. This compound is stable under acidic conditions and in the presence of oxygen.
