Sustainable production of 2,5-diformylfuran via peroxymonosulfate-triggered mild catalytic oxidation of lignocellulosic biomass.

ABSTRACT: The relentless depletion of fossil fuels accentuates the urgent necessity for the sustainable synthesis of chemicals from renewable biomass. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), extracted from lignocellulosic biomass, emerges as a beacon of hope for conversion into value-added chemicals. However, the inherent susceptibility of its unsaturated aldehyde groups to excessive oxidation often culminates in undesired reactions, compromising both the yield and specificity of the desired products. Here, we introduce a holistic methodology for the cost-effective and ecologically responsible generation of 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF), through the heterogeneously catalyzed oxidation of HMF utilizing peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under benign conditions. This strategy, characterized by the meticulous enhancement of sur
