Exploring high-performance base-metal approaches for the sustainable production of chemicals from biomass is presently attracting immense interest and is truly important to promote their industrialized application. Herein, CoOx-N/C and α-MnO2 were combined as a base-metal catalyst that can achieve high yields of furan-2,5-dimethylcarboxylate (FDMC, 95.6 %) for the catalytic oxidative esterification of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) without basic additive. The reaction proceeds through fast conversion of HMF to diformylfuran (DFF) with α-MnO2 and subsequent transformation of DFF to FDMC by CoOx-N/C. Quantitative X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that the pyridinic-N present in doped carbon could behave as a Lewis base to promote the abstraction of hydrogen for the oxidative esterification reaction. Consequently, CoOx-N/C is a high performance catalyst for the synthesis of FDMC from DFF in a neutral medium.

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is considered to be a promising replacement for terephthalic acid since they share similar structures and properties. In contrast to FDCA, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid methyl (FDCAM) has properties that allow it to be easily purified. In this work, we reported an oxidative esterification of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural to prepare corresponding esters over CoxOy-N@C catalysts using O2 as benign oxidant. High yield and selectivity of FDCAM and methyl 2-furoate were obtained under optimized conditions. Factors which influenced the product distribution were examined thoroughly. The CoxOy-N@C catalysts were recycled five times and no significant loss of activity was detected. Characterization of the catalysts could explain such phenomena. Using XPS and TGA, we made a thorough investigation of the effects of ligand and pyrolysis temperature on catalyst activity.

Furanic di-carboxylate derivatives of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are nowadays important in the polymer industry as they are used as building blocks for bio-based polyesters. The high reactivity of HMF compels to avoid harsh synthetic conditions. Therefore, developing mild catalytic processes for its selective oxidation is a challenging task. Herein, we report the first oxidative esterification of HMF to dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylate (FDCM) under flow conditions using oxygen as oxidant. For that purpose, a new series of nitrogen-doped carbon-supported bimetallic Co/Ru heterogeneous catalysts were prepared and characterized by XRD, XPS and N2 physisorption. These analyses revealed that the porosity of the materials and order of impregnation of the metals to the carbon supports lead to varying catalytic activities. Under optimized conditions the flow reactor showed a 15-fold increase on the production of FDCM compared to batch conditions.

The direct fabrication of furan-2,5-dimethylcarboxylate (FDMC), a promising renewable monomer, from biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a cutting-edge process. In this contribution, an elaborately designed N-doped carbon-supported CoCu bimetallic catalyst (CoxCuy-NC; x/y=9:1, 7:3, 4:6, which represents the designed molar ratio of Co and Cu in the catalyst), which could offer a desirable FDMC yield of 95 percent under mild and base-free conditions (Co7Cu3-NC, 2 bar O2, 80 °C, 4 h) is described for the oxidative esterification of HMF. Notably, an FDMC formation rate of 6.1 molFDMC molCo?1 h?1 was achieved over Co7Cu3-NC, which represents the highest catalytic efficiency so far among Co-based catalytic systems. It has been demonstrated that Cu-doping in Co7Cu3-NC catalyst brings about more active sites (Co-Nx species) with stronger molecular oxygen activation ability. The increase of surface N content of Co7Cu3-NC also improves basicity of the catalyst, which favors the hydrogen abstraction process during the HMF oxidative esterification reaction. These findings may pave an efficient and green way for the synthesis of sustainable bio-based polymer monomers.

Directly oxidative esterification of Biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into dimethyl furan dicarboxylate (DMFDCA) is a promising route for the replacement of petroleum-derived commodity chemical terephthalic acid (TPA) extensively employed in polyester synthesis. Co-based N-doped carbon materials are one of the most promising applied catalysts for oxidative esterification reaction, however, the active sites and reaction pathway of these catalysts have not been clearly clarified, which is crucial to the practical application. Herein, we report that ZIF-67 (a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-type cobalt-containing MOF) derived Co@C-N material is a highly effective catalyst for the selective conversion of HMF into DMFDCA in 95% yield. The high activity of the ZIF-67 derived nanocarbon composites Co@C-N can be attributed to the electron transfer between nitrogen-doped carbon shells and Co nanoparticles. The appropriate graphitic N and pyridinic N doping increases the electronic mobility and active sites. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations indicated that oxygen, HMF and methanol molecules are adsorbed and activated on C-N materials. Furthermore, no 2, 5-diformylfuran (DFF) was captured as an intermediate because the oxidative esterification of aldehyde preferentially occurred than the oxidation of hydroxyl group in HMF. We anticipate that these results can drive progress in the bio-based polymers sector and oxidative esterification reaction.

Efficient one-pot oxidative esterification of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to furan-2,5-dimethylcarboxylate (FDMC) was achieved under extremely mild reaction conditions by using AuPd alloy nanoparticles (NPs) supported on Fe3O4. A high yield of FDMC (92 %) was obtained at room temperature under atmospheric O2. The reaction proceeded through the synergistic effects of the AuPd heterobimetallic catalyst system. The most effective molar ratio of noble metal contents for HMF oxidation was 1.00:1.18. If Au-Fe3O4 NPs were used as the catalyst, selective synthesis of 5-hydroxymethylfuroic acid methyl ester (HMFE) was achieved. Additionally, the AuPd-Fe3O4 catalyst could be successfully reused.

The conversion of platform molecule 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into many value-added derivatives has attracted significant interest. FDCA and its esters are important derivatives of HMF, which can be used as polyester monomers and pharmaceutical intermediates. In this paper, oxidative esterification of 5-HMF has been carried out by using homogeneous and heterogeneous PdCoBi/C catalysts under atmospheric oxygen. The effect of reaction conditions on product distribution has been studied under both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic conditions. The highest yields of oxidative esterification products are obtained at 93% and 96% by using homogeneous and heterogeneous PdCoBi/C catalysts, respectively. The catalysts are characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The catalytic system has better compatibility according to the expansion of the substrate. A reaction mechanism is proposed, and recycle experiments are also conducted.
