5-Hydroxymethylfurfural
Product Overview
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF, HMF), CAS 67-47-0, is a biomass-derived furan platform chemical, commonly supplied as a light yellow solid or melt and used as a versatile intermediate for oxidation, reduction, and polymer-building-block chemistry.
Technical Specifications
This material meets an assay of not less than 99.0%. Identity and consistency are supported by proton NMR (¹H NMR) versus established references.
