The effect of solvent properties on HMF reactivity and stability will be presented and discussed. The analysis will be based on the solvent induced FTIR frequency shifts of the HMF carbonyl, ring and hydroxyl vibrations, the corresponding QM/MM molecular dynamics simulations and solvent properties (e.g. dielectric constant, acidity etc.)
