RESUMEN
An environmentally friendly oxidation system has proposed for the practical and scalable production of value-added 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid from 1â kg of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. The system is composed of a simple base, oxygen, and a green solvent, thereby providing a sustainable and economical approach to organic synthesis. To gain insight into the mechanism of this oxidation process, NMR spectroscopic analysis and kinetic study are used for the mechanistic investigation of this environmentally friendly oxidation process.
RESUMEN
A NaOtBu-O2 -mediated oxidative dehomologation of homoallylic alcohols into structurally different carboxylic acids through direct oxidative cleavage of either the C(sp2 )-C(sp2 ) or C(sp3 )-C(sp3 ) bond utilizing enolate chemistry was demonstrated. Furthermore, under transition-metal-free conditions, this protocol has been applied to convert terpene as biomass feedstock into value-added chemicals.
