Abstract

Furanic platform chemicals derived from renewable plant biomass offer a multitude of potential applications in materials science and the chemical industry, positioning them as promising alternatives to nonrenewable petrochemical feedstock products. However, the relatively low stability of the pseudoaromatic furan core poses a significant challenge because of the limited range of available reaction conditions for the preparation and subsequent chemical modification of these furanic platforms. In this review, our focus lies on investigating the stability of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF), one of the most extensively studied platform chemicals, with the aim of identifying optimal conditions for its synthesis and further functionalization. The goal of this study is to delineate the limits of renewable furan stability by identifying optimal conditions with minimal tarring and the occurrence of side reactions, a crucial aspect for both ongoing laboratory research and the development of reactors for large-scale production of HMF derivatives in the industry.

期刊介绍： The Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering provides a global forum for the dissemination of research in chemical engineering. The Journal publishes significant research results obtained in the Asia-Pacific region, and simultaneously introduces recent technical progress made in other areas of the world to this region. Submitted research papers must be of potential industrial significance and specifically concerned with chemical engineering. The editors will give preference to papers having a clearly stated practical scope and applicability in the areas of chemical engineering, and to those where new theoretical concepts are supported by new experimental details. The Journal also regularly publishes featured reviews on emerging and industrially important subjects of chemical engineering as well as selected papers presented at international conferences on the subjects.
