Hydrotalcite-supported gold-nanoparticle-catalyzed highly efficient base-free aqueous oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid under atmospheric oxygen pressure

Abstract

Green synthesis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, one of the most important chemical building blocks from biomass, viaoxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural has been demonstrated using hydrotalcite-supported gold nanoparticle catalyst in water at 368 K under atmospheric oxygen pressure without addition of homogeneous base.
