Infinite dilution binary diffusion coefficients (D12) for compounds derived from biomass such as furan-2-carbaldehyde (furfural), 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF), 2-methoxyphenol (guaiacol), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (vanillin), and phenol in water were measured over the temperature range from (298.2 to 353.2) K at 0.1 MPa using the Taylor dispersion method. The relative expanded uncertainties with level of confidence 0.95 (the coverage factor, k = 2.78 for 4 degrees of freedom) for the measured diffusion coefficients were less than 5.8 % and typically ca. 2.4 %. The diffusion coefficients were correlated with the hydrodynamic equation, D12/T = αηβ, with an average absolute relative deviation, AARD, less than 1.16 %.
