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.]

This paper discloses that inexpensive hydrobromic acid (HBr) is active and highly selective to the photo-oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) with dioxygen (O2) or even with water under visible light illumination, which can achieve the highest 89.1% DFF yield in DMSO at 80 °C under pure O2atmosphere. More importantly, under bifunctional acid-photooxidation catalysis of HBr, fructose can be directly converted to DFF and its two-step cascade conversion in DMSO provides a far higher DFF yield (80.2%) than the one-step cascade conversion in MeCN (42.1%). The results of HMF photooxidation catalyzed by hydrohalic acids, free radical quenching tests and EPR spectrum support that the Br atom and superoxide (O2?˙) anion radicals generated by HBr photolysis in O2are active species for the oxidation of HMF to DFF and their activities are adjusted by the reaction medium. This photo-synthetic protocol is very simple and practical, especially with low operating costs, showing a good industrial application prospect.

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.

In this work, we present a novel method for the synthesis of ester and amide derivatives containing furan rings (furfural derivatives) under mild synthetic conditions supported by microwave radiation. N-(Furan-2-ylmethyl)furan-2-carboxamide and furan-2-ylmethyl furan-2-carboxylate were produced using 2-furoic acid, furfurylamine, and furfuryl alcohol. The reactions were carried out in a microwave reactor in the presence of effective coupling reagents: DMT/NMM/TsO? or EDC. The reaction time, the solvent, and the amounts of the substrates were optimized. After crystallization or flash chromatography, the final compounds were isolated with good or very good yields. Our method allows for the synthesis of N-blocked amides using N-blocked amino acids (Boc, Cbz, Fmoc) and amine. As well as compounds with a monoamide and ester moiety, products with diamides and diester bonds (N,N-bis(furan-2-ylmethyl) furan-2,5-dicarboxamide, bis(furan-2-ylmethyl) furan-2,5dicarboxylate, and furan-3,4-diylbis(methylene) bis(furan-2-carboxylate)) were synthesized with moderate yields in the presence of DMT/NMM/TsO– or EDC, using 2,5-furan-dicarboxylic acid and 3,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan as substrates.

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.
