The application of the oxidative system composed of a heterogeneous triazolium pre-catalyst, iron(ii) phthalocyanine and air is described for the selective conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into the added-value 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA). The disclosed one-pot two-step procedure involved sequential oxidative esterifications of HMF to afford a polyester oligomer having hydroxyl and carboxyl terminal groups (Mw = 389-1258), which in turn was hydrolyzed by a supported base (Ambersep 900 OH) to yield HMFCA in 87% overall yield. The same strategy was adopted for the effective synthesis of ester and amide derivatives of HMFCA by nucleophilic depolymerization of the oligomeric intermediate with methanol and butylamine, respectively. The utilization of the disclosed oxidative system for the direct conversion of HMF and furfural into their corresponding ester, amide, and thioester derivatives is also reported.

The electrochemical oxidation of biomass platforms such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to value-added chemicals is an emerging clean energy technology. However, mechanistic knowledge of this reaction in an electrochemical context is still lacking and operando studies are even more rare. In this work, we utilize core-shell gold-metal oxide nanostructures which enable operando surface-enhanced Raman spectroelectrochemical studies to simultaneously visualize catalyst material transformation and surface reaction intermediates under an applied voltage. As a case study, we show how the transformation of NiOOH from ～1-2 nm amorphous Ni layers facilitates the onset of HMF oxidation to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), which is attained with 99% faradaic efficiency in 1 M KOH. In contrast to the case in 1 M KOH, NiOOH formation is suppressed, and consequently HMF oxidation is sluggish in 10 mM KOH, even at highly oxidizing potentials. Operando Raman experiments elucidate how surface adsorption and interaction dictates product selectivity and how the surface intermediates evolve with applied potential. We further extend our methodology to investigate NiFe, Co, Fe, and CoFe catalysts and demonstrate that high water oxidation activity is not necessarily correlated with excellent HMF oxidation performance and highlight catalytic factors important for this reaction such as reactant-surface interactions and the catalysts' physical and electronic structure. The insights extracted are expected to pave the way for a deepened understanding of a wide array of electrochemical systems such as for organic transformations and CO2 fixation.

Integrating biomass upgrading and hydrogen production in an electrocatalytic system is attractive both environmentally and in terms of sustainability. Conventional electrolyser systems coupling anodic biosubstrate electrooxidation with hydrogen evolution reaction usually require electricity input. Herein, we describe the development of an electrocatalytic system for simultaneous biomass upgrading, hydrogen production, and electricity generation. In contrast to conventional furfural electrooxidation, the employed low-potential furfural oxidation enabled the hydrogen atom of the aldehyde group to be released as gaseous hydrogen at the anode at a low potential of approximately 0 VRHE (vs. RHE). The integrated electrocatalytic system could generate electricity of about 2 kWh per cubic meter of hydrogen produced. This study may provide a transformative technology to convert electrocatalytic biomass upgrading and hydrogen production from a process requiring electricity input into a process to generate electricity.

The selective oxidation of 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) in this work was proven as a promising route to produce 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), an emerging bio-based building-block with wide application. Under ambient pressure, the modified carbon nanotube-supported Pd-based catalysts demonstrate the maximum FDCA yield of 93.0% with a full conversion of BHMF after 60 min at 60 °C, much superior to that of the traditional route using 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) as substrates (only a yield of 35.7%). The participation of PdHx active species with metallic Pd can be responsible for the encouraging performance. Meanwhile, a possible reaction pathway proceeding through 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) and 5-formyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (FFCA) as process intermediates is suggested for BHMF route. The present work may provide new opportunities to synthesize other high value-added oxygenates by using BHMF as an alternative feedstock.

Generally, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is used as feedstock to produce 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Whereas, its poor stability in alkaline environment results in low yield of FDCA. By contrast, 5-[(formyloxy)methyl]furfural (FMF), a novel platform compound derived from HMF, with higher thermal and alkaline stability than HMF, is more promising to replace HMF as substrate for the production of FDCA. In this study, FMF was successfully converted into FDCA over MoCuOx by using NaClO as oxidant, undergoing 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) and 5-hydroxymethylfuran-2-carboxylic acid (HMFCA) as intermediates. Under optimization condition (30 min, 40 °C), 100% yield of FDCA was obtained. Furthermore, it was also demonstrated that the yield of FDCA up to 90% was gained in 5 wt % FMF concentration. Higher oxygen species mobility and lattice oxygen ratio endowed MoCuOx excellent catalytic activity. The synergy of Mo and Cu species in MoCuOx ensured an efficient conversion of HMF to FDCA through synergistic redox couple of Mo6+/Mo5+ and Cu2+/Cu+.

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.

Mg-bearing MTW silicalite zeolite, MgSi-ZSM-12, was straightforwardly synthesized by involving an unusual acidic pre-gelation system and engaged as the task-specific support for loading the Au nanoparticles (NPs). The resulting Au/MgSi-ZSM-12 catalyst showed stably excellent activity for the oxidation of HMF into FDCA in the presence of atmospheric dioxygen (O2) without externally adding any liquid base, affording a yield of 87 % and turnover number (TON) of 331 based on the surface Au sites. Superior basicity was evidenced by embedding Mg species into the all-silica zeolitic skeleton, which enables strong, weak, and near-zero affinity towards aldehyde, alcohol, and carboxyl groups, respectively, thus, allows rapid and high-uptake adsorption of HMF, but negligible adsorption of FDCA. This unique feature of the Mg-bearing all-silica zeolite support together with its synergy with the active sites of Au NPs is revealed to accelerate the production of FDCA under the base-free mild condition.
