Catalytic Aerobic Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid and Its Derivatives

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Production of Platform Chemicals from Sustainable Resources

Part of the book series: Biofuels and Biorefineries ((BIOBIO))

Abstract

Catalytic synthesis of value-added chemicals from biomass is important for reducing current dependence on fossil-fuel resources. The bifunctional compound, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has wide application in many fields, particularly as a substitute for petrochemical-derived terephthalic acid in the synthesis of polymers. Therefore, much effort has been devoted to the catalytic synthesis of FDCA. In this chapter, a concise overview of up-to-date methods for the synthesis of FDCA from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) or directly from carbohydrates by one-pot reaction is provided with special attention being given to catalytic systems, mechanistic insight, reaction pathway and catalyst stability. In addition, the one-pot oxidative conversion of carbohydrates into FDCA, and the one-pot synthesis of FDCA derivatives are discussed. It is anticipated that the chemistry detailed in this review will guide researchers to develop effective catalysts for economical and environmental-friendly synthesis of FDCA on a large-scale.
