Furfural Usage and Synthesis:

Furfural is a colorless and transparent oily liquid produced by hydrolysis and dehydration of pentosan in plant fiber materials, and has a special odor similar to benzaldehyde. Exposure to light and air color Color quickly changes to reddish brown. In the light, heat, air oxidation and inorganic acid, the color quickly changes to yellow-brown, and eventually becomes black-brown, also easy to polymerization and tree Resin-like. It is very similar to benzaldehyde and can be subjected to benzoin reaction, Pulgin reaction and Conicharo reaction. China since China has produced furfural since 1943, and the output exceeded 40,000 tons until 1989, which is one of the main exporting countries in the world.

Pharmacokinetics of Furfural:

Furfural is produced from plant raw materials rich in pentosan. Commonly used are corn cob, oat husk, cotton seed husk, bagasse, rice husk, etc., corn cob is the best. furfural The ability to dissolve aromatic hydrocarbons, olefins, polar substances and certain polymer compounds is large, and the ability to dissolve saturated substances such as aliphatic hydrocarbons and advanced fatty acids is small. By oxidation, hydrogenation It can produce various derivatives through oxidation, hydrogenation, nitration, oxidation, decarbonylation and condensation reactions. Storage should be protected from light, deaerated, sealed. Furfural is partially miscible with water, also soluble in alcohol, Ether, acetic acid and other solvents. Methanol and acetic acid and other by-products generated in the process of furfural production can be recovered when needed. Most of the hydrolysis residue fiber lignin is used as fuel. A small amount is used as pesticide retardant, adhesive increaser and soil conditioner, etc.

Clinical Application of Furfural:

Furfural is a solvent commonly used in the refining of petroleum, an important raw material for the synthesis of resins, electrical insulation materials, nylon, coatings, etc. It is also a raw material for the manufacture of drugs and a variety of organic synthesis and reagents. Mainly used as raw materials for the production of furan derivatives, also used as a selective solvent for the separation of unsaturated compounds in saturated aliphatic compounds, rosin decolorizer and resin production solvent. The solvent of resin production, mainly used as casting resin, grinding wheel adhesive and anti-corrosion coating, etc. Furfural is an important organic chemical raw material, also can be used as the raw material of organic synthesis Furfural is an important organic chemical raw material, also can be used as the raw material of organic synthesis, also used in the synthesis of resin, varnish, pesticide, medicine, rubber and paint, etc.
