Reaktionsschritte

5-HMF feed is oxidized with elemental O2 in a multi-step reaction to form FDCA with 5-formyl furan-2-carboxylic acid (FFCA) as a key intermediate eq 1. Oxidation of 5-(acetoxymethyl)furfural (5-AMF), which contains an oxidizable ester and aldehydes moieties, produces FDCA, FFCA, and acetic acid, eq 2. Similarly oxidation of 5-(ethoxymethyl)furfural (5-EMF) produces FDCA, FFCA, 5-(ethoxycarbonyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid (EFCA) and acetic acid, eq 3.
