A facile pathway to furan derivatives from lignocellulosic biomass via 5-acetoxymethylfurfural (AMF) was developed. AMF possesses advantageous properties due to its less-hydrophilic acetoxymethyl group relative to the hydroxymethyl group of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). The hydrophobicity and chemical stability of AMF allowed practical isolation and purification to afford a highly pure product of up to 99.
