Description and Uses
Dimethyl 3,4-furandicarboxylate can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
- Luminescent lanthanide-furandicarboxylate coordination polymer through hydrolysis with lanthanide ions.
- Polyesters via polycondensation with linear biobased aliphatic diols.
- Furanmonomers via lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH4) reduction, which then react with maleimides to form furan-maleimide Diels-Alder adducts for thermally responsive dendrons and dendrimers.
