Several alkyl carbonate derivatives of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and 2,5-bis(hydroxy methyl) furan (BHMF) have been synthesized for the first time. In most cases high yields were achieved using mild reaction conditions and compounds were recovered as pure with none or minimal purification. The n...
