메탄올(95%) 용매내 $0{sim}40^{circ}C$에서 푸르푸랄, 5-메틸 및 5-브로모푸르푸랄의 알코올성 수산화칼륨에 의한 Cannizzaro 반응은 4차반응이며 푸르푸랄은 5-메틸푸르푸랄보다 3배, 5-브로모푸르푸랄은 푸르푸랄보다 10배 빠르게 진행된다. 그리고 이 반응에서 푸르푸랄, 5-메틸푸르푸랄, 5-브로모푸르푸랄의 활성화에너지는 각각 10.46 Kcal/mole, 16.27 Kcal/mole, 9.62 Kcal/mole이며 ${Delta}H^{ eq}$ 와 ${Delta}S^{ eq}$를 계산한 바 5-브로모푸르푸랄, 푸르푸랄, 5-메틸푸르푸랄의 순으로 증가 되었다
We have obtained the results of Cannizzaro reaction of furfural, 5-methylfurfural and 5-bromofurfural by using alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution in 95% (V/V) methanol solvent at $0{sim}40^{circ}C$. The results are as follows: 1) Their Cannizzaro reaction is fourth-order reaction, and the reaction of furfural proceeds 3 times as rapid as that of 5-methylfurfural and 10 times as slow as that of 5-bromofurfural. 2) Their activation energies of furfural, 5-methylfurfural and 5-bromofurfural in the reaction are 10.46Kcal/mole, 16.27Kcal/mole, and 9.62Kcal/mole respectively, and the calculated activation parameters, <TEX${Delta}H^{ eq}$</TEX> and ${Delta}S^{ eq}$, increase in the order of 5-bromofurfural, furfural and 5-methyl-furfural
