Synthesis method of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid

The invention discloses a synthesis method of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid. The synthesis method comprises the following steps: 1, hydrogenation of furfural into methyl furan; 2, acetylation of methyl furan; 3, hydrogenation of 5-methyl-2-acetylfuran; and 4, oxidation of 2-methyl-5-ethylfuran. According to the invention, a green renewable bio-based platform compound furfural is used as a raw material; and compared with a process for preparing 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid by using 5-hydroxymethylfurfural as a raw material, the method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that the source ofthe used raw material is wider, the raw material is easy to produce, productivity is higher, the cost of the raw material is lower, the cost of a used oxidation catalyst is low, and large-scale production is facilitated. Compared with a noble metal complex catalyst used in a process adopting CO carbonylation for carbon chain growth, a carbon chain growth strategy catalyst used in the invention issolid acid, so cost is greatly reduced.

Methyl Hydrazinocarboxylate as a Practical Alternative to Hydrazine in the Wolff-Kishner Reaction

Herein we describe a facile protocol for the reduction of aromatic ketones and aldehydes to the corresponding methylene unit. The procedure involves isolation of a carbomethoxyhydrazone intermediate that is easily decomposed to the reduced product without the requirement for large quantities of pernicious hydrazine.
