Furfural was directly transformed to prepare 1, 4-pentanediol As an important part of the biomass industry (such as bioplastics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc.), the synthesis technology of biodiol has become the focus of researchers at home and abroad.

Furfural is an important basic organic chemical raw material which cannot be synthesized by chemical method at present. It is the only unsaturated organic chemical with large specific volume obtained from carbohydrate compounds.

In 1832, J.W. Berei-Ner reported the separation of yellow oily substances from cloudy distillates in the preparation of formic acid by the action of sucrose with manganese dioxide and sulfuric acid. Too few to be identified or named. In 1840, J.Stenhouse used corn cob and oat shell to obtain the same product.

Furfural is a kind of organic matter, used as raw material for organic synthesis, also used in synthetic resin, varnish, pesticide, medicine, rubber and coatings; Mainly used as an industrial solvent, for the production of furfuryl alcohol, furoic acid, tetrahydrofuran, γ -valerolactone, pyrrole, t
