(57) [Summary] (Modifications) [PROBLEMS] To develop demand for saccharides, develop derivatives of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural, which is a high value-added product utilizing saccharides, and simplify these derivatives. To provide a method for efficient production in a simple manner. SOLUTION: A 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural organic acid ester represented by the following general formula (1) and a saccharide having a 6-carbon sugar structure are reacted with an organic acid without solvent. Process for producing 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural organic acid ester. (R is a residue of an organic acid selected from oxalic acid, malic acid and tartaric acid.) |
