A process for preparing furanic mono- and/or di-sulfonate molecules from the reduction products of HMF, in particular, from either 2,5-bis-hydroxymethyltetrahydrofurans (THF-diols) or furan-2,5-dimethanol (FDM) under relatively mild conditions is described. The process involves reacting THF-diols or FDM with at least a sulfonate species, and a reagent of either 1) a nucleophilic base or 2) combination of a non-nucleophilic base and a nucleophile, as two separate reagents. The furanic sulfonates synthesized according to the process and some of the associated compounds that can be derivatized from the sulfonates are also provided. |
