The renewable basic chemical 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is selectively carbonylated to the new compound 5-formylfuran-2-acetic acid using a water-soluble palladium complex of trisulfonated triphenylphosphine as the catalyst in an acidic aqueous medium at 70 deg C and 5 bar CO pressure; when hydrogen iodide is the acid component, the reaction follows a different course and HMF is selectively reduced to 5-methylfurfural.

A green approach for the conversion of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) to 5-methylfurfural (MF) by using size-controlled palladium catalysts has been developed. Palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) with various sizes supported on activated carbon were prepared with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the capping agent. The reaction results showed that all the PVP-assisted Pd catalysts achieved high selectivity whilst the hydrogenation ability of Pd NPs could be rationally tuned by varying the mole ratio of Pd/PVP. 2.5% Pd-PVP/C (1:2) presented a satisfactory activity with 80% MF yield and 90% selectivity. The reaction kinetics study showed that the transformation of HMF into MF over bifunctional PVP-assisted Pd NPs underwent an acid-catalyzed esterification followed by a Pd-catalyzed hydrogenolysis procedure. The role of formic acid in the transformation is not only as a hydrogen-donating agent but also as a reactant to form the key intermediate. This work provides a novel and environmentally-friendly method for the selective hydrogenation of bio-based HMF to MF.

The dehydration of several sugars, including pentoses, hexoses, di, tri, and polysaccharides, in ionic liquids with acidic ion-exchange resins as heterogeneous catalysts was investigated. Good 2-furaldehydes recovery yields, reaching 92% in some cases, were achieved when Dowex 50W ion-exchange resins and 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C4mim]Cl) were used. Our results show that this aproach could represent a promising route towards the cost-efficient production of 2-furaldehydes from carbohydrate-based feedstocks.

Herein, a robust catalytic system was developed for the green synthesis of 5-methylfurfural (5-MF) by iodide-mediated transfer hydrogenation. Around 50 % of 5-MF was yielded from d-fructose within 7.5 min using NaI as the catalyst and formic acid as both the hydrogen source and co-catalyst. The catalytic system was used for six consecutive cycles without any decrease in the yield. Various starch and raw biomass could be used as promising starting materials for 5-MF synthesis with moderate yields, and the productivity of 5-MF from corn starch reached 103 mmol gcat?1 h?1, which is comparable with the best result from l-rhamnose. Moreover, the co-production of 5-MF and furfural from raw biomass makes this methodology more competitive than other routes.

In this work novel copper-alumina catalysts were prepared through a solvent-free solid-state grinding method ― a low cost and green catalyst preparation method for selective hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) into 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF). Under the optimized reaction conditions (3 MPa H2, 130 °C, 1 h), >99 % 5-HMF conversion and 93 % BHMF yield were obtained by using a 20CA (20 mol%Cu-Al2O3) catalyst. The catalyst characterization results could reveal that the high catalytic activity and selectivity could be attributed to the presence of both metallic and electrophilic copper (Cu°/Cu2+) species and the uniformly distributed copper nanoparticles. Furthermore, an integrated catalytic process was demonstrated for the first time for direct conversion of mono, di, and polysaccharides into the corresponding BHMF, obtained overall BHMF yield in the range of 25 %–48 %.
