main uses | 2,5-furandimethanol (BHMF) is a chemical intermediate, which has a very wide application potential as a biomass-based furan derivative compound. In recent years, it has attracted more and more attention from academia and industry. 2, 5-furandimethanol can be used as a raw material to synthesize pharmaceutical intermediates, nucleoside derivatives, crown ethers and furans, etc., and can also be used as solvents, softeners, wetting agents, binders, surfactants, Synthetic plasticizers, etc., secondly, it can be used as a monomer to synthesize polyester, polyurethane and other polymeric materials to reduce the content of volatile organic compounds in the coating, and it is expected to completely or partially replace propylene glycol in the coating material; in addition, 2, 5-furandimethanol itself can also be used as an artificial receptor in the study of molecular recognition. |
