Application

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.
