The Investigation and Characterization of the Reaction of 2-Methylfuran and 2-Methyl-3-Buten-2-Ol with O(3P) and the Photodissociation of Xylyl Bromide Isomers
… or additives, 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol and 2-methylfuran, in combustion experiments at the Chemical Dynamics Beamline held at the Advanced Light Source of the Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory. The oxidation of these fuels were initiated through O(<sup>3</sup>P) and the combustion …

Understanding the Kinetics and Mechanisms of the Desired and Undesired Reactions during Electrochemical Hydrogenation and Hydrogenolysis of Furfural on Copper in Acidic Media
… Two products are formed, furfuryl alcohol and 2-methylfuran. Furfuryl alcohol is used to produce resins for the foundry industry and 2-methylfuran has been identified as a high-octane fuel. Mathematical models were developed which showed that furfuryl alcohol and 2-methylfuran were produced …

Furanic Molecules: Multiplexed Synchrotron Photoionization Investigations and Aerosol Studies
<p> The oxidation reactions of 2-methylfuran (2MF) and 2-ethylfuran (2EF) initiated by Cl radicals is studied at the low temperatures, in addition to the determination of the absolute photoionization cross-sections of 2EF, 2-acetylfuran, and furfural. These experiments are carried out using …
