Abstract
The renewable basic chemical 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is selectiv ely carbonylated to the new compound 5-formylfuran-2-acetic acid using a water-soluble palladium complex of trisulfonated triphenylphosphine as the catalyst in an acidic aqueous medium at 70 degrees C and 5 bar CO pressure; when hydrogen iodide is the acid component, the reaction follows a different course and HMF is selectively reduced to 5-methyl furfural.
