Abstract
Exciting opportunities in biomass catalytic conversion have spurred extensive research and development into the chemical utilization of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and its derivatives. In this study, we achieved efficient base-free aerobic oxidation of HMF-derived tetrahydrofuran-2,5-dimethanol (THFDM) to tetrahydrofuran-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (THFDCA) on a Pt/OMS-2 catalyst, offering a potential alternative to petroleum-based 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (CHDA). Oxygen vacancies on the catalyst support played a crucial role in the oxidation process by enhancing surface lattice oxygen mobility and facilitating the oxidation of THFDM via the Mars-van Krevelen (MvK) mechanism. This in-depth exploration of bio-based products presents a promising avenue for the production of high-value building blocks.
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.
