Abstract
Manganese dioxide, β-MnO2, has shown potential in catalyzing the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a monomer of bioplastic polyethylene furanoate (PEF). Herein, the insight into the hydroxy (OH) and surface oxygen effects on the HMF-to-FDCA reaction over β-MnO2 is clarified through a comprehensive investigation using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, microkinetic modeling, and experiment. Theoretical analyses revealed that both active surface oxygen and OH species (from either base or solvent) facilitate C-H bond breaking and OH insertion, promoting the catalytic activity of β-MnO2. Microkinetic modeling demonstrated that the FFCA-to-FDCA and DFF-to-FFCA steps are the rate-limiting steps of the hydroxylated and non-hydroxylated surfaces, respectively. These theoretical results agree well with the experiment when water and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were used as solvents. In addition, the synthesized β-MnO2 catalyst showed high stability and activity, maintaining stable HMF conversion (≥99 mol%) and high FDCA yield (85-92 mol%) during continuous flow oxidation for 72 hours at pO2 of 1 MPa, 393 K and LHSV of 1 h-1. Thus, considering both hydroxy and surface oxygen species is a new strategy for enhancing the catalytic activity of Mn oxides and other metal oxide catalysts for the HMF-to-FDCA reaction.

Abstract
The present study focused on developing a stable basic MnOx support for Ru (RuMn) for the efficient oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) in water in the absence of an external base. A series of MnOx supports, synthesized via hydrothermal approach using urea as precipitant, was prepared by thermal treatment at various temperatures (300-800 °C) before doping with Ru. The RuMn-2 (1 wt % Ru, MnOx calcined at 400 °C) possessed a large number of basic sites (1.72 mmol g-1 ) based on CO2 temperature-programmed desorption analysis, affording an FDCA yield of 87 % with a turnover frequency of 22 h-1 . Transmission electron microscopy energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy elemental mapping of RuMn-2 showed a high dispersion of Ru over the surface of MnOx, contributing to the efficient HMF oxidation. Moreover, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and H2 temperature-programmed reduction indicated that the predominant MnO2 phase (ϵ-MnO2 ) played a vital role in HMF oxidation. RuMn-2 was recyclable for up to four runs without significant loss in the activity and retained its structural integrity.

Abstract
Noble metal-free catalysts based on earth-abundant and inexpensive mixed oxides are active catalysts of all steps of the reaction cascade leading from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidation agent. Catalysts covering the whole range of composition in the Cu-Mn and Co-Fe series have been prepared and characterised. The nature and composition of the catalyst strongly affect conversion and selectivity. The distribution of products indicates that radical-type oxygen species, deriving from the activation of TBHP, play a determining role in the reaction. The early steps of reaction mainly follow the pattern expected for heterogeneous Fenton catalysts. Mixed oxide catalysts are the most effective in further oxidation steps, leading to the formation of FDCA, both in the Cu-Mn and Co-Fe systems. This behaviour can be related to the distribution of charge in the mixed oxides, suggesting a possible implication of the lattice oxygen in the last reaction steps. The results provide indications on how to optimize the reaction and minimize the formation of byproducts (humins and oligomers).

Abstract
Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) derivatives such as 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) and furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) are promising alternative of fossil-based diols and dicarboxylic acids for synthesis of polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). However, high cost for preparing HMF from biomass discourages the commercialization of HMF-derived polyesters. Since producing furfural (FUR) from five-carbon sugars (e.g., xylose) via dehydration is an inexpensive and commercialized process, we herein reported a method to synthesize BHMF derivatives (5-(ethoxymethyl)furan-2-methanol (EMFM), 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan monoacetate (BHMFM) and 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan diacetate (BHMFD) from furfural derivatives, i.e., (2-(ethoxymethyl)furan (EMF) and furfuryl acetate (FA)). To avoid strong acid-induced side reactions (e.g., furan ring opening, condensation and carbonization), two reaction systems, i.e., a low-concentration HCl aqueous solution combined with formaldehyde and anhydrous acetic acid combined with paraformaldehyde, were found to be suitable for such a hydroxymethylation reaction and could lead to decent product yields. In order to improve the carbon utilization, condensed furanic byproducts were further converted into hydrocarbon fuels via a reported two-step hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) process. This study not only validates the possibility of synthesizing functional HMF derivatives (EMFM, BHMFM, and BHMFD) from commercially-available FUR derivatives (EMF and FA), but also provide a new way to transform condensed furanics to value-added hydrocarbon fuels.
