Investigating the Conditions and Mechanism of Formation of Furfuryl-Formaldehyde Oligomers

Abstract

A study was made of the conditions of heteropolycondensation of furfuryl alcohol with formaldehyde at different molar ratios. A new mechanism of formation and a new structure of furfurylformaldehyde oligomers by means of separating the initial polycondensation products are proposed. Earlier we reported on certain features of the kinetics [1] and mechanism [2] of formation of furfuryl oligomers.
