Substitution reaction of furfural
Answers
Explanation:
Furfural
Furfural is formed by dehydrating five-carbon sugars such as xylose and arabinose that can be obtained from the hemicellulose fraction of lignocellulosic biomass
Environmental Fate
Furfural is a naturally occurring product as well as being a synthetic one. When released into the environment, it volatilizes readily. In the air, furfural is degraded by reaction with hydroxy radicals produced photolytically. If released into the soil, it is highly mobile and has a great potential to leach into groundwater. Volatilization from the soil is expected to be slow. Although data is limited, furfural is expected to biodegrade readily in the soil under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Furfural will not bioconcentrate to any great extent in fish or wildlife.
