HMF preparation catalysed by anolyte fraction

The present invention relates to a process for preparing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) by reaction of a fructose-containing component at a temperature of 90 to 200 °C, using a catalytically active anolyte fraction produced by electrolysis of water, to give an HMF-containing product mixture; the proc...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a process for preparing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) by reaction of a fructose-containing component at a temperature of 90 to 200 °C, using a catalytically active anolyte fraction produced by electrolysis of water, to give an HMF-containing product mixture; the process advantageously achieves high HMF selectivity while at the same time producing significantly lower levels of by-product.
