Chemical Properties Of Hydroxymethylfurfural Cas 67-47-0

  • Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is a furan compound formed by the dehydration of monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose under high-temperature or weakly acidic conditions. At room temperature, it is a pale yellow to beige crystalline solid with a chamomile-like odor. Its molecule contains two reactive groups: an aldehyde group and a hydroxymethyl group.
  • 5‑Hydroxymethylfurfural, with the MF:C6H6O3 MW:126.11. It is highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents, chemically reactive via its aldehyde and hydroxyl groups, and light/air‑sensitive.
