Provided herein is a process for preparing furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid. The process includes the following steps: (A-1) preparing a starting mixture comprising one, two or more carbohydrate compounds selected from the group consisting of: hexoses, oligosaccharides comprising hexose units, and polysaccharides including hexose units, and as a solvent or as a co-solvent for the carbohydrate compounds an amount of one or more carboxylic acid esters of a formula (II) and (A-2) subjecting the starting mixture to reaction conditions so that at least one of the one, two or more carbohydrate compounds reacts, and a fraction of the amount of one or more carboxylic acid esters of formula (II) is hydrolyzed, resulting in a mixture including 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural and/or the one or more HMF esters of a formula (I), one or more carboxylic acids of a formula (III) and a remaining fraction of the amount of one or more carboxylic acid esters of formula (II).

Process for preparing furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid

Provided herein is a process for preparing a mixture including 5-(hydroxy-methyl)furfural (HMF) and one or more HMF esters of formula (I), the process including the following steps: (A-1) preparing or providing a starting mixture which includes one, two or more carbohydrate compounds and as the solvent or as a co-solvent for the carbohydrate compounds an amount of one or more carboxylic acid esters of formula (II); (A-2) subjecting the starting mixture to reaction conditions so that at least one of the one, two or more carbohydrate compounds reacts, and a fraction of the amount of one or more carboxylic acid esters of formula (II) is hydrolyzed, so that a mixture results that includes 5-(hydroxy-methyl)furfural and/or the one or more HMF esters of formula (I), one or more carboxylic acids of formula (III) and a remaining fraction of the amount of one or more carboxylic acid esters of formula (II).

Process for preparing a mixture comprising 5-(hydroxymethyl) furfural and specific HMF esters

The present invention relates to a plasticizer composition which comprises at least one furan derivative and at least one 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylate ester, molding compounds which comprise a thermoplastic polymer or an elastomer and such a plasticizer composition and the use of these plasticizer compositions and molding compounds.
