  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The oxidation of furfural with hydrogen peroxide in water and in absolute ether containing small amounts of water was studied. It was found that water inhibits the formation of furfuryl hydroxyhydroperoxide but promotes the buildup of acids. The accumulated acids play a catalytic role in all stages of the process.
