Abstract
This invention relates to a method of, in an eco-friendly manner, preparing a furfuranol-based compound and a 2-furancarboxylic acid-based compound using an ionic liquid as a reaction solvent, which includes reacting a furfural-based compound with a hydroxide of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal using an ionic liquid as the solvent, thus obtaining a furfuranol-based compound and a 2-furancarboxylic acid-based compound, and in which water is not used as the reaction solvent, thus preventing the generation of reaction wastewater, and the ionic liquid used as the solvent can be easily recovered and reused.
