Abstract
The invention relates to a process for manufacturing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. This process comprises decomposition of a hexose in a reaction medium constituted by water and an organic solvent, by heating to a temperature below 100.degree. C., situated especially in the range from 70.degree. to 95.degree. C., in the presence of a solid catalytic support, especially an exchange resin with a cationic function. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is applied in numerous syntheses.
