Abstract

This research investigates different oxidative pathways to obtain maleic anhydride starting from the biorenewable furfural in continuous flow. A single step O₂¹ oxidation towards maleic anhydride was investigated but found to lack selectivity. Nonetheless, the resulting product analysis provided valuable insight into the possible reaction mechanism, uncovering an interesting solvent effect. Building on this, an existing slow reacting two-step pathway was translated towards a continuous one, achieving a fast and highly productive conversion towards maleic anhydride while aligning with green chemistry principles.

以O2为绿色氧化剂，糠醛高效连续氧化制马来酸酐†

本研究以生物可再生糠醛为原料，研究了在连续流程中不同的氧化途径制备马来酸酐。研究了O21单步氧化制马来酸酐的方法，但发现缺乏选择性。尽管如此，最终的产物分析为可能的反应机制提供了有价值的见解，揭示了一个有趣的溶剂效应。在此基础上，现有的缓慢反应两步途径被转化为连续反应，实现了快速高效的马来酸酐转化，同时符合绿色化学原则。

期刊介绍： Green Chemistry is a journal that provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. The scope of Green Chemistry is based on the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998), which defines green chemistry as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green Chemistry aims to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. The journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of research relating to this endeavor and publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. For a work to be published, it must present a significant advance in green chemistry, including a comparison with existing methods and a demonstration of advantages over those methods.
