Description

General description

Furfuryl alcohol is an efficient trapping agent for singlet oxygen determination in natural waters. Mechanism of acid-catalyzed polycondensation of furfuryl alcohol has been investigated.

Furfuryl alcohol is a furan derivative widely used as a singlet oxygen trapping agent and food additive. Building block for resins, adhesives and coatings.

Application

Furfuryl alcohol has been used as a carbon source in the synthesis of titanium carbide nanofibers/nanoribbons, applicable in the carbide-derived carbon (CDC) material preparation.
It can also be used:

As a starting material to synthesize ethyl levulinate, a biofuel from lignocellulosic residues.
To prepare colloidal microporous carbon spheres, applicable as adsorbents and catalyst supports.
As a starting material to prepare cyclopentanone through aqueous phase hydrogenation reaction using metal catalysts.
