| dc.description | The prospect of exciting research activity in the chemistry of furfural derived compounds such as
5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), 2,5-furandicarbaldehyde and 2,5-furan-dicarboxylic acid
prompted the writing of this article. As the field of application of these compounds is really
enormous, it is no wonder that research in this area, starting at the end of 19th century, is still
being developed. Numerous important scientific groups are carrying out studies on the synthesis,
and applications of HMF and its derivatives. Notable among these are, Gaset (Toulouse),
Descotes (Lyon), Lichtenthaler (Darmstadt), and Gelas (Clermont-Ferrand). Not only academic
scientists are interested in this subject, the chemical industry, is represented by sugar companies
such as Beghin-Say, and Süddeutsche Zucker. Despite this interest, there are not many
comprehensive monographs or reviews covering the chemistry of HMF. Two classic reviews, by
Newth and by Feather and Harris, appeared in 1951 and 1973 respectively. Reviews by Gaset
et al.,3 Faury et al. and by Kuster are more recent, but they are not detailed. An important
review review by Cottier and Descotes6 appeared in 1991.
This review is written to update those above, to summarize the contributions of the last 100
years; and to emphasize recent developments especially in electrochemistry, and on dialdehyde
and diacid chemistry. | pl_PL |
| dc.description.abstract | HMF is a good starting material for the synthesis of precursors of various pharmaceuticals,
thermo-resistant polymers and complex macrocycles. Among these precursors, one can find 2,5-
furandicarbaldehyde and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid; these two compounds are described in
detail in this article. The field of their applications is enormous – the dialdehyde offers itself to
be the precursor for the synthesis of complexing macrocycles, oxo-porphirines, oxo-annulenes as
well as mono- and bis alkenyl and alkynyl furans. The diacid is a building block for numerous
polyesters and polyamides; its derivatives were found to be useful in pharmacology. No wonder
then, that numerous methods for their preparation have been worked out and published. | pl_PL |
