Catalytic transformation of biomass-based furfural to value-added chemicals is an alternative route to the on-going fossil feedstock-based processes. This work describes catalytic aerobic oxidation of furfural to maleic anhydride, an important polymer starting material having a large market with H 5PV2Mo10O40 and Cu(CF 3SO3)2 catalysts. Under the optimized conditions, 54.0% yield of maleic anhydride can be achieved with about 7.5% yield of 5-acetoxyl-2(5H)-furanone formation. Notably, 5-acetoxyl-2(5H)-furanone is a highly value-added, biologically important intermediate that has been applied in pharmaceutical synthesis. The catalytic mechanism for furfural oxidation to maleic anhydride and 5-acetoxyl-2(5H)-furanone has been investigated in detail with identification of several key intermediates. the Partner Organisations 2014.

The mass spectra of a series of substituted butenolides were studied. Their fragmentations in the mass spectrometer strongly depend upon the nature of the substitutents. The fragment's ions include the lactone skeletons, substituents, and resultant derive

Several lipases catalyse the transesterification of γ-acyloxyfuranones in organic solvents with high enantioselectivities. This method has been used for the kinetic resolution of 5-acetoxy-2(5H)-furanone, 5-acetoxy-4-methyl-2(5H)-furanone and 5-propionyloxy-2(5H)-furanone, in e.e.'s ranging from 68-98%.
