Functionalized (hetero)aromatic compounds are indispensable chemicals widely used in basic and applied sciences. Among these, especially aromatic aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, nitriles, and amides represent valuable fine and bulk chemicals, which are used in chemical, pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material industries. For their synthesis, catalytic aerobic oxidation of alcohols constitutes a green, sustainable, and cost-effective process, which should ideally make use of active and selective 3D metals. Here, we report the preparation of graphitic layers encapsulated in Co-nanoparticles by pyrolysis of cobalt-piperazine-tartaric acid complex on carbon as a most general oxidation catalyst. This unique material allows for the synthesis of simple, functionalized, and structurally diverse (hetero)aromatic aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, nitriles, and amides from alcohols in excellent yields in the presence of air.

An acetal protection strategy for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was used to obtain 2,5-diformyfuran (DFF) using concentrated HMF solutions and a γ-Al2O3-supported Ru catalyst (Ru/γ-Al2O3). The HMF-acetal with 1,3-propanediol can be oxidized to DFF-acetal with a yield of 84.0 % at an HMF conversion of 94.2 % from a 50 wt % solution. In contrast, aerobic oxidation of nonprotected HMF using a 10 wt % solution afforded DFF only in a moderate yield (52.3 %). Kinetic studies indicated that the six-membered ring acetal group not only prevents side reactions but also accelerates aerobic oxidation of the ?CH2OH moiety to ?CHO under retention of the acetal functionality. Organic deposits formed during the reaction explained the significant decrease in the activity of the Ru/γ-Al2O3 catalyst, which could be recovered neither by washing in water or organic solvents, nor by a calcination-reduction treatment. Sonication of the used Ru/γ-Al2O3 catalyst in an aqueous NaOH solution successfully removed the deposits and allowed reuse of the catalyst for at least four times without activity loss.

A series of hydroxyapatite (HAP) supports with different Ca/P ratios were synthesized to prepare the MnOx/HAP catalysts. A MnOx/HAP catalyst showed highly efficient conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 2, 5-diformylfuran (DFF) in toluene solvent under no-alkali condition. 86.4% conversion of HMF with 90.9% selectivity of DFF at 120?°C for 12?h under 1.0?MPa O2 over the MnOx/HAP-10.0-400 were obtained. The redox of Mn4+/Mn3+ improved the oxidation of 5-HMF to DFF by the lattice oxygen, and the lattice oxygen was replenished by adsorbing O2 molecules. The reusability tests were found the catalyst could be reused up to four cycles without notable loss of catalytic activity. The MnOx/HAP-10.0-400 was a stable and reusable material for further industrial exploration of DFF in an environmentally friendly way. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Efficient oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to corresponding furanic products represents an important research focus of biomass valorization, recent research on polyoxometalates (POMs)-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of HMF usually requires high temperature and sometimes high O2/air pressure. In this work, we report a mild and green approach to photocatalytically transform HMF into various furanic products using atmospheric oxygen as oxidant and POMs as photocatalysts. The influence of different POMs, light sources, and additives were systematically investigated by various experimental and spectroscopic results. Under minimally optimized conditions, 88.0 % HMF can be efficiently photooxidized with as high as 70.2 % furanic yield by TBA-W10 catalyst after 2 h irradiation of 365 nm UV light when coupling with TEMPO and Na2CO3 as additives. Finally, detailed mechanistic pathways of HMF photooxidation have been proposed to illustrate the transformation of HMF to various furanic products. This work provides some insightful guidelines for photooxidation of biomass-derived platform chemicals to value-added products under efficient, mild, and green conditions, exhibiting potential practical applications in the future.

The Co-based electrocatalyst is among the most promising candidates for electrochemical oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). However, the intrinsic active sites and detailed mechanism of this catalyst remains unclear. We combine experimental evidence and a theoretical study to show that electrogenerated Co3+ and Co4+ species act as chemical oxidants but with distinct roles in selective HMF oxidation. It is found that Co3+ is only capable of oxidizing formyl group to produce carboxylate while Co4+ is required for the initial oxidation of hydroxyl group with significantly faster kinetics. As a result, the product distribution shows explicit dependence on the Co oxidation states and selective production of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA) and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) are achieved by tuning the applied potential. This work offers essential mechanistic insight on Co-catalyzed organic oxidation reactions and might guide the design of more efficient electrocatalysts.

The invention relates to a method for preparing 2, 5-furandicarboxaldehyde by degrading carbohydrate. The method comprises the following steps: 1) placing 20-40 parts by weight of cane sugar or glucose, 0.2-0.5 part by weight of a catalyst, 1-2 parts by weight of a dispersing agent and 80-100 parts by weight of an organic solvent in a reaction kettle, sealing, and uniformly stirring to form a mixed solution, wherein the catalyst is cerium dioxide with a particle size of less than 100 nm; and 2) introducing air into the reaction kettle under the condition of continuously stirring, keeping the pressure in the reaction kettle at 2-5 MPa and the temperature at 70-90 DEG C, reacting for 1-2 hours, then stopping the reaction, and naturally cooling to room temperature to obtain a mixed solution with 2, 5-furandicarboxaldehyde as a main component. The method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, no need of high temperature and high pressure, high yield of 2, 5-furandicarboxaldehyde, no need of a complicated HMF separation step, cost reduction, and better conformity to the target of green chemistry.

Two series of linear extended benzofuran derivatives associating cyanovinyl unit and phenyl or furan moieties obtained from benzaldehyde-lignocellulosic (Be series) or furaldehyde –saccharide (Fu series) platforms were prepared in order to investigate their emission and electrochemical properties. For the fluorescence in solution and solid states, contrasting results between the two series were demonstrated. For Be series a net aggregation induced emission effect was observed with high fluorescence quantum yield for the solid state. A [2+2] cycloaddition under irradiation at 350 nm was also revealed for one derivative of Be series. In contrast, for Fu series the fluorescence in solution is higher than in the solid state. The X-ray crystallography studies for the compounds reveal the formation of strong π-π stacking for the derivatives without emissive property in the solid state and the presence of essentially lateral contacts for emissive compounds. Taking advantage of the propensity to develop 2D π-stacking mode for the more extended derivative with a central furan cycle, organic field effect transistors presenting hole mobility have been made.

In this study, α-MoO3nanobelts were successfully synthesized by a simple, green and economic hydrothermal method and applied as a bifunctional catalyst for one-step conversion of fructose to DFF under atmospheric air. The structure of the as-prepared α-MoO3catalyst was characterized in detail by SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, XPS, H2-TPR and NH3-TPD to better understand the relationship between structure and performance. α-MoO3nanobelts exhibited high catalytic activities for production of DFF from HMF and fructose in atmospheric air. Under optimized reaction conditions, high DFF yields of 97.2% and 78.3% were obtained by using HMF and fructose as raw materials, respectively. Furthermore, a plausible reaction pathway was proposed for the selective oxidation of HMF to DFF according to the experimental and catalyst characterization results. Importantly, α-MoO3is a robust catalyst that can be used at least five times without obvious loss in its catalytic activity. In brief, α-MoO3is an easily-prepared, eco-friendly, low cost and highly effective catalyst which has potential application in one-step conversion of fructose to DFF under atmospheric air.

(NH4)5H6PV8Mo4O40 supported on hydroxyapatite (HAP) (PMo4V8/HAP (n)) was prepared through the ion exchange of hydroxy groups. This ion exchange favored the oxidative conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) in a one-pot cascade reaction with 96.0 % conversion and 83.8 % yield under 10 mL/min of O2 flow. PMo4V8/HAP (31) was used to explore the production of DFF directly from glucose with the highest yield of 47.9 % so far under atmospheric oxygen, whereas the yield of DFF increased to 54.7 % in a one-pot and two-step reaction. These results indicated that the active sites in PMo4V8/HAP (31) retained their activities without any interference toward one another, which enabled the production of DFF in a more cost-saving way by only using oxygen and one catalyst in a one-step reaction. Meanwhile, the rigid structure of HAP and strong interaction in PMo4V8/HAP (31) allowed this catalyst to be reused for at least six times with high stability and duration.

Selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2, 5-diformylfuran (DFF) with molecular oxygen is realized with an α-MnO2 catalyst under mild conditions. In this work, α-MnO2 exhibited the best performance among the samples examined. Meanwhile, solvent shows a significant effect on the product selectivity and isopropanol is found good for improving the selectivity of DFF. 93.2 % conversion of HMF was achieved at 140 °C for 4 h with 84.3 % selectivity of DFF. Moreover, α-MnO2 catalyst keeps good reusability in recycling for five times. The reaction pathway indicated that the lattice oxygen species on α-MnO2 is involved in the selective oxidation of hydroxyl group in HMF molecule.
