Highly selective synthesis of 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan via catalytic amination of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural with NH₃ over a bifunctional catalyst.

ABSTRACT: The development of facile protocols for the selective synthesis of biomass-derived diamine is a highly desirable pursuit in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, a simple and highly efficient bi-functional CuNiAlO _x catalyst was developed for the one pot transformation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (5-HMF) into 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan (BAF) using a two-stage reaction process. Cu₄Ni₁Al₄O _x was found to be the most effective catalyst for this reaction, affording BAF in 85.9% yield. Our results could promote controllable conversion and utilization of biomass resource.

Catalytic Furfural/5-Hydroxymethyl Furfural Oxidation to Furoic Acid/Furan-2,5-dicarboxylic Acid with H2 Production Using Alkaline Water as the Formal Oxidant.

Project description:Furfural and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) are abundantly available biomass-derived renewable chemical feedstocks, and their oxidation to furoic acid and furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA), respectively, is a research area with huge prospective applications in food, cosmetics, optics, and renewable polymer industries. Water-based oxidation of furfural/HMF is a lucrative approach for simultaneous generation of H2 and furoic acid/FDCA. However, this process is currently limited to (photo)electrochemical methods that can be challenging to control, improve, and scale up. Herein, we report well-defined ruthenium pincer catalysts for direct homogeneous oxidation of furfural/HMF to furoic acid/FDCA, using alkaline water as the formal oxidant while producing pure H2 as the reaction byproduct. Mechanistic studies indicate that the ruthenium complex not only catalyzes the aqueous oxidation but also actively suppresses background decomposition by facilitating initial Tishchenko coupling of substrates, which is crucial for reaction selectivity. With further improvement, this process can be used in scaled-up facilities for a simultaneous renewable building block and fuel production.

Operando generated copper-based catalyst enabling efficient electrosynthesis of 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan.

Project description:Electrocatalytic upgrading of biomass-derived platform molecules has emerged as a sustainable and environmentally benign route to produce high-value chemicals. The main challenge lies in developing efficient catalysts for the selective activation of designated chemical bonds in the presence of various reducible groups. This work demonstrated a high-efficiency electrochemical conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF), an important industrial synthetic reagent. A highly porous Cu-based catalyst was developed that achieved nearly 100% BHMF selectivity and long-term stability. Through comprehensive operando and ex-situ structural characterizations, an electrochemically generated catalyst with abundant Cu/Cu2O interfaces was identified as a catalytically active phase for HMF conversion. Deuterated BHMF, with the potential to produce deuterated drugs, was also synthesized using D2O as the deuterium source. Density functional theory calculations show that the Cu/Cu2O interface structure exhibits relatively low energy barriers for the hydrogenation of HMF to BHMF. This work provides insights into the origin of electrocatalytic hydrogenation activity and highlights the promising potential of the electrocatalytic synthesis of high-value chemicals.

Reduced metal nanocatalysts for selective electrochemical hydrogenation of biomass-derived 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural to 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan in ambient conditions.

Project description:Selective electrochemical hydrogenation (ECH) of biomass-derived unsaturated organic molecules has enormous potential for sustainable chemical production. However, an efficient catalyst is essential to perform an ECH reaction consisting of superior product selectivity and a higher conversion rate. Here, we examined the ECH performance of reduced metal nanostructures, i.e., reduced Ag (rAg) and reduced copper (rCu) prepared via electrochemical or thermal oxidation and electrochemical reduction process, respectively. Surface morphological analysis suggests the formation of nanocoral and entangled nanowire structure formation for rAg and rCu catalysts. rCu exhibits a slight enhancement in ECH reaction performance in comparison to the pristine Cu. However, the rAg exhibits more than two times higher ECH performance without compromising the selectivity for 5-(HydroxyMethyl) Furfural (HMF) to 2,5-bis(HydroxyMethyl)-Furan (BHMF) formation in comparison to the Ag film. Moreover, a similar ECH current density was recorded at a reduced working potential of 220 mV for rAg. This high performance of rAg is attributed to the formation of new catalytically active sites during the Ag oxidation and reduction processes. This study demonstrates that rAg can potentially be used for the ECH process with minimum energy consumption and a higher production rate.

Effective Biobased Phosphorus Flame Retardants from Starch-Derived bis-2,5-(Hydroxymethyl)Furan.

Project description:A series of biobased phosphorus flame retardants has been prepared by converting starch-derived bis-2,5-(hydroxymethyl)furan to the corresponding diacrylate followed by Michael addition of phosphite to generate derivatives with phosphorus moieties attached via P-C bonds. All compounds behave as effective flame retardants in DGEBA epoxy resin. The most effective is the DOPO derivative, 2,5-di[(3-dopyl-propanoyl)methyl]furan. When incorporated into a DGEBA blend at a level to provide 2% phosphorus, a material displaying a LOI of 30, an UL 94 rating of V0 and a 40% reduction in combustion peak heat release rate compared to that for resin containing no additive is obtained. The analogous compounds generated from bisphenol A and tetrabromobisphenol A exhibit similar flame-retarding properties.

Diels-Alder Cycloaddition of 2,5-Bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) and N-Phenylmaleimide Derivatives.

Project description:Currently, amidst atmospheric menace where natural calamities such as wildfire and floods are becoming more frequent than ever, biobased derivatives offer a sustainable alternative to conventional ways, for instance, petrochemical commodities. Biobased products, obtained from agricultural waste, including 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF), 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF), and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) are promising chemical platforms in the biorefinery, which is yet to be explored. The Diels-Alder cycloaddition of BHMF and N-phenylmaleimide derivatives under optimal reaction conditions is investigated in this report. First, HMF is reduced to BHMF in the presence of NaBH4, and then the Diels-Alder reaction of BHMF and N-phenylmaleimide derivatives is investigated to produce Diels-Alder adducts. All novel compounds are synthesized in acceptable yields and effectively characterized by employing important techniques such as one-dimensional (1D) NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, DEPT-90, and DEPT- 135), two-dimensional (2D) NMR spectroscopy (1H-1H COSY, 1H-13C HSQC, and 1H-13C HMBC), IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, mass spectrum (QTOF), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD). Furthermore, this study underlines the necessity of sustainable synthetic methodologies and gives critical insights into the progress of ecologically friendly methodologies, providing a new avenue as a tunable precursor for the challenging functionalized polymer in the future.

Phase transition induced hydrogen activation for enhanced furfural reductive amination over a CoCu bimetallic catalyst.

Project description:The synthesis of primary amines from renewable biomass and its derivatives through reductive amination has garnered significant attention. How to construct efficient non-noble-metal catalysts that enable low-temperature catalysis still remains challenging. Herein, we report a Cu-doped Co@CoO x heterostructure catalyst that features structural Co-CoCuO x bifunctional sites, which enable room temperature reductive amination of various aldehydes with 1.57-45 times higher efficiency than Co@CoO x , outperforming many reported non-noble and even noble metal catalysts. Experiments and DFT calculations indicate that Cu doping leads to a phase transition of Co from hcp to fcc, while electrons are transferred from Cu to Co, forming a dual active site with electron-rich Co closely interacting with CoCuO x . These electron-rich Co sites demonstrate excellent activity in the activation and dissociation of hydrogen, while the CuO x component facilitates hydrogen spillover at the CoCuO x interface, thus resulting in a highly efficient cooperative effect for the furfural (FAL) reductive amination. This work provides general guidance for the rational design of high-performance reductive amination catalysts for biomass upgrading.

Chiral 2-Aminobenzimidazole as Bifunctional Catalyst in the Asymmetric Electrophilic Amination of Unprotected 3-Substituted Oxindoles.

Project description:The use of readily available chiral trans-cyclohexanediamine-benzimidazole derivatives as bifunctional organocatalysts in the asymmetric electrophilic amination of unprotected 3-substituted oxindoles is presented. Different organocatalysts were evaluated; the most successful one contained a dimethylamino moiety (5). With this catalyst under optimized conditions, different oxindoles containing a wide variety of substituents at the 3-position were aminated in good yields and with good to excellent enantioselectivities using di-tert-butylazodicarboxylate as the aminating agent. The procedure proved to be also efficient for the amination of 3-substituted benzofuranones, although with moderate results. A bifunctional role of the catalyst, acting as Brønsted base and hydrogen bond donor, is proposed according to the experimental results observed.

Carboligation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural via whole-cell catalysis to form C12 furan derivatives and their use for hydrazone formation.

Project description:BackgroundBiobased 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (5-HMF) is an important platform that offers numerous possibilities for upgrading to a range of chemical, material and fuel products. One reaction of special interest is the carboligation of 5-HMF into C12 compounds, including 5,5'-bis(hydroxymethyl)furoin (DHMF) and its subsequent oxidation to 5,5'-bis(hydroxymethyl)furil (BHMF), due to their potential applications as building blocks for polymers and hydrocarbon fuels.ObjectivesThis study was aimed at evaluating the use of whole cells of Escherichia coli carrying recombinant Pseudomonas fluorescens benzaldehyde lyase as biocatalysts for 5-HMF carboligation, recovery of the C12 derivatives DHMF and BHMF, and testing the reactivity of the carbonyl groups for hydrazone formation for potential use as cross-linking agents in surface coatings. The effects of different parameters on the reaction were investigated to find the conditions for achieving high product yield and productivity.ResultsThe reaction with 5 g/L 5-HMF using 2 gCDW/L recombinant cells in 10% dimethyl carbonate, pH 8.0 at 30 °C resulted in DHMF yield of 81.7% (0.41 mol/mol) at 1 h, and BHMF yield of 96.7% (0.49 mol/mol) at 72 h reaction time. Fed-batch biotransformation generated a maximum DHMF concentration of 53.0 g/L (or 26.5 g DHMF/g cell catalyst) with productivity of 10.6 g/L.h, after five feeds of 20 g/L 5-HMF. Both DHMF and BHMF reacted with adipic acid dihydrazide to form hydrazone that was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H NMR.ConclusionThe study demonstrates the potential application of recombinant E. coli cells for cost-effective production of commercially relevant products.

Improved Bio-Synthesis of 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan by Burkholderia contaminans NJPI-15 With Co-substrate.

Project description:Upgrading of biomass derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has attracted considerable interest recently. A new highly HMF-tolerant strain of Burkholderia contaminans NJPI-15 was isolated in this study, and the biocatalytic reduction of HMF into 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) using whole cells was reported. Co-substrate was applied to improve the BHMF yield and selectivity of this strain as well as HMF-tolerant level. The catalytic capacity of the cells can be substantially improved by Mn2+ ion. The strain exhibited good catalytic performance at a pH range of 6.0-9.0 and a temperature range of 25°C-35°C. In addition, 100 mM HMF could be reduced to BHMF by the B. contaminans NJPI-15 resting cells in presence of 70 mM glutamine and 30 mM sucrose, with a yield of 95%. In the fed-batch strategy, 656 mM BHMF was obtained within 48 h, giving a yield of 93.7%. The reported utilization of HMF to produce BHMF is a promising industrially sound biocatalytic process.

5-Hydroxymethyl-2-Furfural Oxidation Over Au/CexZr1-xO2 Catalysts.

Project description:A series of gold catalysts supported on pure CeO2, ZrO2, and two different Ce-Zr mixed oxides have been prepared and tested in the 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural oxidation reaction. All catalysts show high catalytic activity (100% conversion) and important selectivity (27-41%) to the desired product i.e., 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid at low base concentration. Products selectivity changes with the support nature as expected, however, the observed trend cannot be related neither to gold particle size, nor to catalyst reducibility and oxygen mobility. An important relation between the FDCA selectivity and the support textural properties is observed, conducing to the general requirement for optimal pore size for this reaction.
