Product Information

• Name: 5-Methyl-2-furanmethanol
• Synonyms: (5-Methyl-furan-2-yl)-methanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Methyl-2-furanmethanol is a component of biodiesel that is used as an additive for the production of phosphotungstic acid. It is also used in the synthesis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, which can be used to produce biofuels. The adsorption mechanism of 5-methyl-2-furanmethanol on copper chromite was studied by measuring its surface area and pore volume. This study showed that 5-methyl-2-furanmethanol has a high affinity for the copper chromite surface, which may be due to steric interactions between the hydroxyl group and the chromium oxide surface or because of hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl group and hydroxyl groups in the adsorbent. The reaction mechanism of 5-methyl-2-furanmethanol with phosphotungstic acid was studied using a model system, which showed that it reacts with phosphot
