The title compound (HMF), C(6)H(6)O(3), is one of the products of acid-catalyzed dehydration of high-fructose corn syrup, and has been shown to be toxic to honey bees. The compound was crystallized at 276 K, and it was found that the two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit form an infinite O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding chain that is linked into a three-dimensional network structure by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O contacts. ...[more]
