Abstract
Several alkyl carbonate derivatives of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and 2,5-bis(hydroxy methyl) furan (BHMF) have been synthesized for the first time. In most cases high yields were achieved using mild reaction conditions and compounds were recovered as pure with none or minimal purification. The new HMF and BHMF derived products resulted stable over time and they are suitable monomers for new bio-based polycarbonates and polyurethanes.
