Zusammenfassung:The disclosure relates to a process for the production of a furan derivative from C5 and/or C6 sugars. The process utilizes a water-immiscible organic solvent system comprising at least one alkyl phenol and at least one hydrocarbon of carbon number 10 or higher. The disclosure also relates to a composition comprising furfural or 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, at least one alkyl phenol, at least one alkylated naphthalene, and in the range of from 0 to 5% by weight of humins.
