Furfural tetrahydrofuran

Furan is produced from furfural commercially by decarbonylation loss of carbon monoxide from furfural gives furan direcdy. Tetrahydrofuran (3) is the saturated analogue containing no double bonds. [Pg.74]

Tetrahydrofuran (3) is produced commercially from furfural by decarbonylation followed by hydrogenation it is also produced by several different methods from other raw materials. A complete discussion of tetrahydrofuran is found under Ethers. Polymers of tetrahydrofuran are covered under the general topic. Polyethers. Several other compounds containing the tetrahydrofuran ring, which are most readily produced from furfural, are discussed here. [Pg.74]

Uses. Furfural is primarily a chemical feedstock for a number of monomeric compounds and resins. One route produces furan by decarbonylation. Tetrahydrofuran is derived from furan by hydrogenation. Polytetramethylene ether glycol [25190-06-1] is manufactured from tetrahydrofuran by a ring opening polymeri2ation reaction. Another route (hydrogenation) produces furfuryl alcohol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, 2-methylfuran, and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran. A variety of proprietary synthetic resins are manufactured from furfural and/or furfuryl alcohol. Other... [Pg.78]

As can be seen, most of the furfural produced in this country is consumed as an intermediate for other chemicals. Hydrogenation to furfuryl alcohol is the largest use. Some of the furfuryl alcohol is further hydrogenated to produce tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol. The next major product is furan, produced by decarbonylation. Furan is a chemical intermediate, most of it is hydrogenated to tetrahydrofuran, which in turn is polymerized to produce polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG). [Pg.79]

Therapeutics. Compounds containing the furan or tetrahydrofuran ring are biologically active and are present in a number of pharmaceutical products. Eurfurjdamine [617-89-0] is an intermediate in the diuretic, furosemide. Tetrahydrofurfurylamine [4795-29-3] may also have pharmaceutical applications. 5-(E)imethyiaininomethyi)furfuryi alcohol [15433-79-17 is an intermediate in the preparation of ranitidine, which is used for treating ulcers. 2-Acet5dfuran [1192-62-7] prepared from acetic anhydride and furan is an intermediate in the synthesis of cefuroxime, a penicillin derivative. 2-Euroic acid is prepared by the oxidation of furfural. Both furoic acid [88-14-2] and furoyl chloride [527-69-5] are used as pharmaceutical intermediates. [Pg.83]

In the now-obsolete furfural process, furfural was decarboxylated to furan which was then hydrogenated to tetrahydrofuran (THF). Reaction of THF with hydrogen chloride produced dichlorobutene. Adiponitrile was produced by the reaction of sodium cyanide with the dichlorobutene. The overall yield from furfural to adiponitrile was around 75%. [Pg.220]

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. [Pg.550]

A number of lower volume chemicals can be obtained from wood hydrolysis. Furfural is formed from the hydrolysis of some polysaccharides to pentoses, followed by dehydration. This process is still used in the Soviet Union. Furfural is used in small amounts in some phenol plastics it is a small minor pesticide and an important commercial solvent. It can be converted into the common solvent tetrahydrofuran (THF) and an important solvent and intermediate in organic synthesis, furfuryl alcohol. [Pg.411]

Decarbonylation. Furfural is easily obtained from biomass waste such as oat and rice hulls that are rich in pentosans. Further valorisation of furfural can be done by decarbonylation to produce furan, which can be further converted into tetrahydrofuran by catalytic hydrogenation. [Pg.21]

Bei Zusatz von Lithiumbromid in der 1. Stufe erhalt man uberwiegend die (Z)-Iso-meren. [Pg.1229]

Furfural is obtained commercially by mealing pentosan-rich ugricullural residues (corncobs, oat hulls, cottonseed hulls, hagasse. rice hulls) with a dilute acid and removing the furfural by steam distillation. Major industrial uses of furfuraldehyde include (1) the production of t urnns and tetrahydrofurans where the compound is an intermediate (2) Ihc solvent refining of petroleum and rosin products (3) the solvent binding of bonded phenolic products and (4) the extractive distillation of butadiene from other C4 hydrocarbons. [Pg.694]

A large group of the furans and their derivatives have specialty and industrial uses. QO Chemicals, Inc., formerly the Chemicals Division of the Quaker Oats Company, has been the world s largest producer of furfural and its derivatives for many years. In addition to furfural, their commercial products include furfuryl alcohol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, tetrahydrofuran, furoic acid and its alkyl furoates, furfural amines, levulinic acid, methylfuran, acetyl furan, meth-yltetrahydrofuran, and various polyetherpolyols and resins. [Pg.525]
