Kinetics and mechanism of the furan peroxide formation in the reaction of furfural with hydrogen peroxide in the presence or absence of sodium molybdate
Ep. Grunskaya et al., Kinetics and mechanism of the furan peroxide formation in the reaction of furfural with hydrogen peroxide in the presence or absence of sodium molybdate, KINET CATAL, 41(4), 2000, pp. 447-450
The kinetics of the initial stage of the furfural reaction with hydrogen pe
roxide was studied in water in the presence of Na2MoO4 and in n-butanol wit
hout a catalyst. The mechanisms of furfural conversion in the Na2MoO4-H2O2
system and oxidation by hydrogen peroxide in the absence of sodium molybdat
e are discussed. Based on kinetic studies, the mechanism of furan peroxide
formation is proposed.
