## Cover Letter

This Premanufacture Notice describes production of an aldehyde chemical intermediate as part of PMN ETHY150519721768922. The attached patent describes this process as part of producing an organic solvent and plasticizer from renewable sources that is less dangerous to the enviroment and people than halogenated incumbents. In this process our organic solvent input will be methyl 5-methyl-2-furoate (CAS# 2527-96-0), this solvent acts as a reaction media for 5-chloromethyl furfural production, and will be recycled as described in the attached patent.

5-Chloromethyl furfural is produced in a continous fashion as a chemical intermediate for production for Furoate Ester (xF). Utilizing a continous reaction design we will not accumulate Chloromethyl furfural, if accumulation of CMF occurs, at a 50 kg trigger. CMF production will be stopped. Such, no more than 50Kg CMF will be on premises at any given point in time. Chemical intermediate for xF production 100 100 100 0 0 0

Page 15 NON-CBI SUBMISSIONPage 16 NON-CBI SUBMISSIONThis chemical is being utilized as an intermediate in production of furoate esters, ehich are expected to displace the use of toluene (and in some

cases benzene and xylene) as a raw starting material for the production of solvents and plasticizers. Furoate esters exhibit the same functional properties as benzoate esters, which are used as both solvents and plasticizers
