- Abstract
As fossil-based resource depletion intensifies and the use of lignocellulosic biomass gains more and more momentum for the development of biorefineries, the production of furans has received a great deal of attention considering their outstanding synthetic possibilities. The production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is quite established in the recent scientific literature, with a large number of studies having been published in the last few years. Lately, there has been a growing interest in the synthesis of 5-chloromethylfurfural (CMF) as a novel building block of similar molecular structure to that of HMF. CMF has some advantages, such as its production taking place at milder reaction conditions, a lower polarity that enables easier separation with the aid of organic media, and the presence of chlorine as a better leaving group in synthesis. Precisely the latter aspect has given rise to several interesting products to be obtained therefrom, including 2,5-dimethylfuran, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, and 5-methylfurfural, to name a few. This work covers the most relevant aspects related to the production of CMF and an array of synthetic possibilities. Through varied catalysts and reaction conditions, value-added products can be obtained from this chemical, thus highlighting the advances in the production and use of this chemical in recent years.
