Oxidative coupling of 2-methyl furoate: A scalable synthesis of dimethyl 2,2'-bifuran-5,5'-dicarboxylate

We report an investigation of the homogeneous Pd-catalyzed oxidative homocoupling of methyl 2-furoate with molecular oxygen as oxidant. Conditions were identified that produce acceptable yield (11.4 %), good selectivity (85 %) and ultra-high turn-over-frequency (TOF, 544 h?1). The product, dimethyl 2,2′-bifuran-5,5′-dicarboxylate, precipitates in nearly pure form upon cooling the reaction mixture. Kinetic and mechanistic investigations showed the reaction followed the so-called bimetallic mechanism.

FUNCTIONALIZED BIFURAN AND SYNTHESIS THEREOF

A 5,5'-Di-(protected)-2,2' -bifuran: wherein each R1 is independently an unsubstituted or substituted 5- or 6-member 1,3-dioxo-2-y1 ring radical. Processes for making the bifuran include coupling 2-(protected)-furfural. Processes for using the bifuran include deprotection, functionalization, and/or polymerization to form a polyester. The polyester can be a renewable, high-performing polyester offering a combination of low cost of production, high sustainability, and excellent performance.
