Abstract
Hydroxymethylation of furfuryl alcohol with aqueous formaldehyde, yiel ding selectively 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan, has been carried out at 338 K in the presence of a highly dealuminated H-form mordenite. Kinet ic analysis of the experimental results allows to propose an original kinetic law involving two types of catalytic sites. According to furfu ryl alcohol concentration, there is competition, or not, upon these tw o types of sites. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
