5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Description

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) derived from sugars is the link between biomass and furan-based chemicals. With its various functional groups and associated reaction sites, this small molecule opens the door to a wide range of chemical modifications, which makes 5-HMF a versatile renewable building block.
5-HMF is widely spread in food products and is formed in sugar containing food when exposed to heat. It is widely used as an indicator of quality in food products. It is also employed to indicate the adulteration of food products with acid converted invert syrups.

Chemical Properties

Beige Coloured Crystalline Solid.
Among the organic compounds that can be obtained from biomass, 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is one of the most interesting ones. 5-HMF is an organic compound derived from dehydration of certain sugars (hexoses). This yellow, low-melting solid is highly water-soluble. The molecule consists of a furan ring, containing both aldehyde and alcohol functional groups. HMF as natural substance has been identified in a wide variety of heat-processed foods including milk, fruit juices, spirits, honey, etc. HMF, which is derived from cellulose, is a potential "carbon-neutral" feedstock for a number of chemical substances.

Uses

An antioxidant for grape and apple juice.

Application

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural has been used as a standard in the high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis for the determination of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural content in co-hydrolysates and fermentation broth of lignocellulosic biomass for the lipid accumulation in M. isabellina type of microorganisms. 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in vinegar and fruit juice samples using chromatography techniques.

Preparation

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was synthesized from glucose in a slug flow capillary microreactor, using a combination of AlCl3 and HCl as the homogeneous catalyst in the aqueous phase and methyl isobutyl ketone as the organic phase for in-situ HMF extraction.

Definition

ChEBI: 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is a member of the class of furans that is furan which is substituted at positions 2 and 5 by formyl and hydroxymethyl substituents, respectively. Virtually absent from fresh foods, it is naturally generated in sugar-containing foods during storage, and especially by drying or cooking. It is the causative component in honey that affects the presystemic metabolism and pharmacokinetics of GZ in-vivo. It has a role as an indicator and a Maillard reaction product. It is a member of furans, an arenecarbaldehyde and a primary alcohol.

General Description

5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural is an organic compound, widely spread in food products and is formed in sugar containing food when exposed to heat. It is widely used as an indicator of quality in food products. It is also employed to indicate the adulteration of food products with acid converted invert syrups.

Biological Activity

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural is a furanic compound derived from the degradation of sugars. It can be derived from reducing sugars via acid-catalyzed degradation or the Maillard reaction during the heating and storage of foods. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural is an intermediate in the synthesis of a variety of compounds including 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF), 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDA), 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (5-(hydroxymethyl)furfuryl alcohol; Item No. 20658), and dimethylfuran (DMF), among others. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural has been found in the marine algae L. undulata and scavenges 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl, alkyl, and superoxide radicals in cell-free assays (IC50s = 27.1, 22.8, 45, and 33.5 μM, respectively).

Safety Profile

Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data.Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ALDEHYDES

Metabolic pathway

When 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF) is administered orally or intravenously to rats, HMF or its metabolites are rapidly eliminated in the urine with the recovery of 95 ? 100% after 24 h. HMF is completely converted to two metabolites which are identified as 5- hydroxymethyl-2-furoic acid and N-(5-hydroxymethyl-2- furoyl)glycine.

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from diethyl ether/pet ether. [Beilstein 18 III/IV 100, 18/1 V 130.]
