colorless transparent liquid, blackened by exposure, similar to ether odor, slightly soluble in water, 0. 3G, miscible with most organic solvents, and methanol to form a binary azeotropic mixture, and methanol water to form a ternary azeotropic mixture. The relative density was 0.9132. Boiling Point 63. 2~65.6 ℃. Freezing point -88. 68 °c. Refractive index 4342. Flash point -22 °c. Flammable, can be decomposed by sodium hydroxide solution.
obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of furfural (or furfuryl alcohol). The above hydrogenation catalyst is a copper-aluminum alloy or a copper-chromium alloy, and alkali is used as a co-catalyst at a pressure of 0. 29~0. 49MPa, temperature 200~210 ℃, hydrogen and furfural ratio of 10:1(mol), furfural feeding rate of 0. 3kg/L.h. Under such conditions, it is obtained by hydrogenation in the gas phase. The reaction product is then condensed, the water is distilled off, and the finished product is obtained by rectification. The average yield of 2 methyl furan was more than 50%.
can be used as a solvent in solution polymerization. Can be used for the synthesis of pentadiene, pentanediol, acetyl propanol and copper and 2 methyl tetrahydrofuran. In the pharmaceutical industry, for the synthesis of vitamin bi, chloroquine phosphate and primary chloroquine phosphate.
