`
`Conclusions
`
`R
`
`AVA § 1' I IJ NI
`
`— The optimum temperature seems to be in the range of 160-180 °C
`
`At higher temperatures (200 and 220 °C) 2-furoic acid appeared.
`
`- The final products are quite instable at high temperatures (200
`
`-220 °C). In the other hand the dicarboxylic compounds seem to
`
`be quite stable at 160 °C
`
`- There were no differences regarding the reaction time and just
`
`after 30 minutes the reaction is finished.
