5- methyl-Furfural

A comprehensive study of the volatiles from strawberries was conducted by McFadden et al. (236). Over 150 components were detected, and the major volatiles were identified from strawberries. The major components included alcohols, esters, acetals, aldehydes, furfural, methyl furfural, aromatic aldehydes, and ketones.

Unfortunately there seems to be no supplementary evidence on copolymerization initiated by phosphines. In a typical experiment, a solution of acrylonitrile in petroleum ether is treated with a little triethyl phosphine. A greenish-brown product settles on the walls of the flask. It is soluble in acetone, furfural, methyl ethyl ketone and DMF. Polymer precipitated from acetone by toluene is of low molecular weight and contains perhaps 0.5% combined phosphorus. In similar experiments it is possible to obtain pale yellow polymers with number average molecular weights of around 30,000 and with about one atom of P per polymer chain. On the basis of these results Horner and coworkers proposed the scheme (72) ...

Pentosans arc estimated by conversion to furfural. This is effected by distillation with dilute hydrochloric acid. Ox> ccllulosc and other constituents of wood cellulose are also stated to yield small quantities of furfural. Methyl pentosans similarly yield methyl furfural. The wood cellulose is distilled with 12 per cent, hydrochloric acid until no more furfural is evolved. The furfural is then determined by precipitation with phloroglucino). This gives a phloroglucidc which can be washed, dried, and weighed. 

Although little experimental data is available, numerous patents have been issued for the vapor phase catalytic oxidation of various other derivatives containing the benzene nucleus, as well as heterocyclic compounds Thus, fluorene (diphenyl methane) is oxidized to fluorenone with air in the presence of a catalyst containing iron vanadate or other suitable metal salt of the fifth or sixth group of the periodic system at a temperature of 360° to 400°.1,2 Maleic acid and anhydride are formed by the catalytic oxidation of compounds of the furan series, such as furan, furfural alcohol, furfural, methyl furfural, hydroxymethylfurfural, pyromucic acid or mixtures, with air over catalysts of molybdenum, vanadium, or other metals.133 Dimethyl benzaldehyde is formed by oxidizing pseudocumene with air at 550° C. in the presence of a tungsten oxide catalyst. Molybdenum, vanadium, or tantalum oxide catalysts may also be used to form aromatic aldehydes from o-, m-, or p-xylenes, mesitylene, p-cymene, or o-chlorotoluene by air oxidation. Times of contact of 0.3 to 0.4 seconds...

Water content of furfural, methyl Cellosolve, and -methoxypropio-nitrile solvents was determined gravimetrically by azeotropic distillation with benzene. One hundred grams of solvent and 50 grams of benzene were refluxed until no more water could be extracted. The extracted water collected in a separate phase in a sidearm receiver was measured and related to the original solvent fraction to determine the water concentration. 

Another type of polymerization has been identified, based on aldehydes such as glyoxylic acid, furfural, methyl furfural, etc. The complexes formed are yellow, with a xanthylium structure. 

Commercial tannins, hquid flavoring and toasted chips lack almost all of the most volatile compounds, with the exception of eugenol and isoeugenol. Other additives, such as toasted wood splints, granules and chips release furfural, methyl-furfural and hydroxymethyl furfural into the wine. Another compound derived from non-toasted European oak is octanal, which has an orange odor (Bertrand et al., 1997). Octanal may contribute to...

Furfural reacts with ketones to form strong, crosslinked resins of technical interest in the former Soviet Union the U.S. Air Force has also shown some interest (42,43). The so-called furfurylidene acetone monomer, a mixture of 2-furfurylidene methyl ketone [623-15-4] (1 )> bis-(2-furfurylidene) ketone [886-77-1] (14), mesityl oxide, and other oligomers, is obtained by condensation of furfural and acetone under basic conditions (44,45). Treatment of the "monomer" with an acidic catalyst leads initially to polymer of low molecular weight and ultimately to cross-linked, black, insoluble, heat-resistant resin (46). 

The physical properties of finish removers vary considerably due to the diverse uses and requirements of the removers. Finish removers can be grouped by the principal ingredient of the formula, method of appHcation, method of removal, chemical base, viscosity, or hazardous classification. Except for method of apphcation, a paint remover formulation usually has one aspect of each group, by which it can be used for one or more appHcations. A Hst of the most common organic solvents used in finish removers has been compiled (3). Many are mentioned throughout this article others include ethyl lactate [97-64-3] propylene carbonate [108-32-7] furfural alcohol [98-01-1/, dimethyl formamide [68-12-2] tetrahydrofuran [109-99-9] methyl amyl ketone [110-43-0] dipropylene glycol methyl ether [34590-94-8] and Exxate 600, a trade name of Exxon Chemicals. 

Solvent Treatment. Solvent processes can be divided into two main categories, solvent extraction and solvent dewaxing. The solvent used in the extraction processes include propane and cresyHc acid, 2,2 -dichlorodiethyl ether, phenol (qv), furfural, sulfur dioxide, benzene, and nitrobenzene. In the dewaxing process (28), the principal solvents are benzene, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, propane, petroleum naphtha, ethylene dichloride, methylene chloride, sulfur dioxide, and iV-methylpyrroHdinone. 

The versatility of this reaction is extended to a variety of aldehydes. The bisphenol derived from 2,6-di-/ f2 -butylphenol and furfural, (25) where R = furfuryl (13), is also used as an antioxidant. The utility of the 3,5-di-/ f2 -butyl-4-hydroxyben2yl moiety is evident in stabili2ets of all types (14), and its effectiveness has spurred investigations of derivatives of hindered alkylphenols to achieve better stahi1i2ing quaUties. Another example is the Michael addition of 2,6-di-/ f2 -butyl phenol to methyl acrylate. This reaction is carried out under basic conditions and yields methyl... 

In acidic solution, the degradation results in the formation of furfural, furfuryl alcohol, 2-furoic acid, 3-hydroxyfurfural, furoin, 2-methyl-3,8-dihydroxychroman, ethylglyoxal, and several condensation products (36). Many metals, especially copper, cataly2e the oxidation of L-ascorbic acid. Oxalic acid and copper form a chelate complex which prevents the ascorbic acid-copper-complex formation and therefore oxalic acid inhibits effectively the oxidation of L-ascorbic acid. L-Ascorbic acid can also be stabilized with metaphosphoric acid, amino acids, 8-hydroxyquinoline, glycols, sugars, and trichloracetic acid (38). Another catalytic reaction which accounts for loss of L-ascorbic acid occurs with enzymes, eg, L-ascorbic acid oxidase, a copper protein-containing enzyme.

The concept of extractive reaction, which was conceived over 40 years ago, has connections with acid hydrolysis of pentosans in an aqueous medium to give furfural, which readily polymerizes in the presence of an acid. The use of a water-immiscible solvent, such as tetralin allows the labile furfural to be extracted and thus prevents polymerization, increases the yield, and improves the recovery procedures. In the recent past an interesting and useful method has been suggested by Rivalier et al. (1995) for acid-catalysed dehydration of hexoses to 5-hydroxy methyl furfural. Here, a new solid-liquid-liquid extractor reactor has been suggested with zeolites in protonic form like H-Y-faujasite, H-mordenite, H-beta, and H-ZSM-5, in suspension in the aqueous phase and with simultaneous extraction of the intermediate product with a solvent, like methyl Aobutyl ketone, circulating countercurrently.

According to the submitters, methyl amyl ketone (800 g.) and ammonia (600 cc.) have been converted to 2-aminoheptane, b.p. 139-141°, in exactly the same manner, in 50-55 per cent yields. A slightly modified procedure was used in the preparation of w-heptylamine and furfurylamine. Heptaldehyde (320 g.) was dissolved in 500 cc. of methanol, and 150 cc. of liquid ammonia was added the reduction was conducted as above. w-Heptyla-mine, b.p. 57-58°/23 mm., was obtained in yields of 53-63 per cent. Freshly distilled furfural (290 g.) was dissolved in 500 cc. of methanol, 150 cc. of liquid ammonia was introduced, and the reduction carried out as usual. The product was removed, filtered, and fractionated directly. Furfurylamine, b.p. 144-146°, was obtained in 50 per cent yield. 

As an example, a convenient preparation of methyl (E) and (Z)-4,4-dimethoxybutenoa-tes can be performed by anodic oxidation of furfuryl alcohol, furfural or furoic acid via a dimethoxylated dihydrofuran intermediate (Scheme 132) [157].
