Abstract
C-H carboxylation of furoic acid (FA) with CO2 is an atom-efficient strategy to produce 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (2,5-FDCA) from lignocellulose. The existing carbonate-promoted CO2 carboxylation processes rely on the use of large amounts of expensive Cs2CO3 as a deprotonating reagent and molten salt. Substitution of Cs with other cheap and abundant alkali ions (such as K and Na) can reduce the use of Cs, but it faces the problem of a low yield of 2,5-FDCA. This study found that the addition of catalytic amounts of ZnCl2 as a Lewis acid can increase the yield of 2,5-FDCA in the CO2 carboxylation reaction of Na/K-FA in a molten salt reaction system. 1H NMR analysis and DFT calculations confirmed that ZnCl2 coordinates with the furan ring through electron transfer from the conjugated furan ring to Zn2+, thereby activating the H at the C5 position of Na/K-FA. This coordination lengthened the C5-H bond and lowered its heterolytic dissociation energy, making it more susceptible to being deprotonated by CO32- and subsequently carboxylated by CO2. The developed Lewis acid coordination strategy provides a new idea for the efficient construction of C-C bonds between CO2 and aromatics through carbonate-promoted C-H carboxylation.

Acid-Catalyzed Activation and Condensation of the =C 5H Bond of Furfural on Aldehydes, an Entry Point to Biobased Monomers. CHEMSUSCHEM 2024; 17:e202400289.

Abstract
Furfural is an industrially relevant biobased chemical platform. Unlike classical furan, or C-alkylated furans, which have been previously described in the current literature, the =C5H bond of furfural is unreactive. As a result, on a large scale, C=C and C=O bond hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis is mainly performed, with furfuryl alcohol and methyl tetrahydrofuran being the two main downstream chemicals. Here, we show that the derivatization of the -CHO group of furfural restores the reactivity of its =C5H bond, thus permitting its double condensation on various alkyl aldehydes. Overcoming the recalcitrance of the =C5H bond of furfural has opened an access to a biobased monomer, whose potential have been investigated in the fabrication of renewably-sourced poly(silylether). By means of a combined theoretical-experimental study, a reactivity scale for furfural and its protected derivatives against carbonylated compounds has been established using an electrophilicity descriptor, a means to predict the molecular diversity and complexity this pathway may support, and also to de-risk any project related to this topic. Finally, by using performance criteria for industrial operations in the field of fuels and commodities, we discussed the industrial potential of this work in terms of cost, E-factor, reactor productivity and catalyst consumption.

Abstract
The hydrogenation of biomass-derived furan compounds provides a sustainable pathway for the production of various valuable chemicals; product selectivity among multiple reaction pathways of furan compound hydrogenation is crucially dependent on catalytic sites; however controlling reaction pathways remains challenging due to the lack of identification and understanding of active sites. In this work we reveal the role of base sites in furfural selective hydrogenation through deliberately designed and synthesized reversed catalysts, basic metal oxides and hydroxide on Cu. It is demonstrated that base species greatly enhanced the selectivity of 1, 2-pentanediol (1, 2-PeD) from furfural, presenting a nearly fourfold increase of 1, 2-PeD: methyl furan ratio over the Cu based reverse catalysts. A combination of infrared spectroscopy and DFT calculations demonstrates the strong interaction between the C-O-C bond in furan ring and the catalyst surface in preferentially parallel adsorption mode in the presence of base species on Cu, thus facilitating the activation of C-O-C bond to produce 1, 2-PeD. This work provides a strategy of designing reversed catalyst to study the effect of promoters and reveals the role of base sites in the hydrogenation of biomass-derived furan compounds to diols.

Abstract
The U.S. Department of Energy has listed levulinic acid (LA) as one of the top 12 compounds derived from biomass. LA has gained much attention owing to its conversion into enantiopure 4-aminopentanoic acid through an amination reaction. Herein, we developed a coupled-enzyme recyclable cascade employing two transaminases (TAs) for the synthesis of (S)-4-aminopentanoic acid. TAs were first utilized to convert LA into (S)-4-aminopentanoic acid using (S)-α-Methylbenzylamine [(S)-α-MBA] as an amino donor. The deaminated (S)-α-MBA i.e., acetophenone was recycled back using a second TAs while using isopropyl amine (IPA) amino donor to generate easily removable acetone. Enzymatic reactions were carried out using different systems, with conversions ranging from 30% to 80%. Furthermore, the hybrid nanoflowers (HNF) of the fusion protein were constructed which afforded complete biocatalytic conversion of LA to the desired (S)-4-aminopentanoic acid. The created HNF demonstrated storage stability for over a month and can be reused for up to 7 sequential cycles. A preparative scale reaction (100 mL) achieved the complete conversion with an isolated yield of 62%. Furthermore, the applicability of this recycling system was tested with different β-keto ester substrates, wherein 18%-48% of corresponding β-amino acids were synthesized. Finally, this recycling system was applied for the biosynthesis of pharmaceutical important drug sitagliptin intermediate ((R)-3-amino-4-(2,4,5-triflurophenyl) butanoic acid) with an excellent conversion 82%.

Abstract
Maleic anhydride (MA) is an important polyester monomer that can be produced from oxidizing renewable furfural derived from biomass. However, MA generation from furfural requires harsh reaction conditions, and suffers from low efficiency and solvent corrosion. Herein, we design a Nb2 O5 photocatalyst loaded of highly dispersed CuOx (CuOx /Nb2 O5 ), which selectively catalyzes furfural oxidation to MA and the precursor (5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone, HF). Due to CuOx loading and forming a complex of ligand to metal charge transfer (LMCT) between the Nb2 O5 surface and adsorbed furfural, the CuOx /Nb2 O5 absorbs visible light to activate furfural though Nb2 O5 has a large band-gap energy (3.2 eV). Singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) is the key active species for C-C bond cleavage and CO generation. MA and HF is produced with a combined yield of 59 % under optimized conditions. This work provides a mild way to provide renewable maleic anhydride via oxidative C-C bond cleavage.

Effective biosynthesis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural via a bi-enzymatic cascade system using bacterial laccase and fungal alcohol oxidase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a cost-effective and eco-friendly approach, biocatalysis has great potential for the transformation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). However, the compatibility of each enzyme in the cascade reaction limits the transformation efficiency of HMF to FDCA. RESULTS Coupled with an alcohol oxidase from Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (CglAlcOx), this study aims to study the potential of bacterial laccase from Bacillus pumilus (BpLac) in an enzymatic cascade for 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) biosynthesis from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). BpLac showed 100% selectivity for HMF oxidation and generated 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA). CglAlcOx was capable of oxidizing HMFCA to 2-formyl-5-furancarboxylic acid (FFCA). Both BpLac and CglAlcOx could oxidize FFCA to FDCA. At the 5 mM scale, a complete transformation of HMF with a 97.5% yield of FDCA was achieved by coupling BpLac with CglAlcOx in the cascade reaction. The FDCA productivity in the reaction was 5.3 mg/L/h. Notably, BpLac could alleviate the inhibitory effect of FFCA on CglAlcOx activity and boost the transformation efficiency of HMF to FDCA. Moreover, the reaction was scaled up to 40 times the volume, and FDCA titer reached 2.6 mM with a yield of 58.77% at 168 h. CONCLUSIONS This work provides a candidate and novel insight for better design of an enzymatic cascade in FDCA production.

Abstract
The selective production of C4 bulk chemicals from biomass is significant to replace the traditional method from petroleum resource. In this work, the succinic anhydride (SAN) is directly prepared from bio-based furanic platform compounds utilizing the visible light-induced oxygenation process, in which m-tetraphenyl porphyrin (H2TPP) and molecular oxygen was employed as the photocatalyst and terminal oxidant, respectively. Under optimal conditions, a 99.9% conversion with 97.8% selectivity of SAN was obtained from furoic acid (FAC) at room temperature. Moreover, the transformation of furfural and furfuryl alcohol with this system can also generate SAN, and the product selectivity is controllable by tuning light intensity and time. Furthermore, the EPR detection, isotope labeling, and control experiments exhibited that the generation of singlet oxygen plays a crucial role and 5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone is the main intermediate during the reaction. Finally, a possible reaction mechanism for the production of SAN from furanic compound is proposed.

Abstract
This study describes the rational design for the fabrication of bulk Ni3Sn2 alloy catalysts for the de/hydration-hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural (FFald) to 1,4-pentanediol (1,4-PeD) without the acidic co-catalyst. The presence of both hydration active sites (Brønsted acid sites (Ni-SnOx)) and hydrogenation active sites (Ni0 or Ni-Sn alloy) in Ni3Sn2 alloy could be controlled by changing the pH of Ni-Sn solution during the preparation. Both active sites acted synergistically to catalyse the de/hydration-hydrogenation reactions of FFald to produce a high yield of 1,4-PeD in a batch reaction system at 433 K, 3.0 MPa H2 after 12 h. Bulk Ni3Sn2 obtained at pH of Ni-Sn solution of 8-10, hydrothermal temperature of 423 K for 24 h, and reduction with H2 at 673 K for 1.5 h demonstrated a high yield of 1,4-PeD (81-87%), which is comparable with that from previous work. A 76% yield of 1,4-PeD was also obtained when the reaction was carried out in a fixed-bed reaction system at 433 K, flow rate 0.065 mL min-1, H2 flow rate 70 mL min-1, and 3.29 wt% FFald in H2O/ethanol solution for 12 h. The activity of bulk Ni3Sn2 was maintained with 66% yield of 1,4-PeD even after 52 h reaction on stream. The fabricated bulk Ni3Sn2 alloy catalysts could be the promising heterogeneous Ni-Sn alloy-based catalysts for the catalytic conversion of biomass-derived-furanic compounds (e.g., FFald, furfuryl alcohol (FFalc), and 2-methylfuran (2-MeF)).

Abstract
Biomass and biomass-derived compounds have become an important alternative feedstock for chemical industry. They may replace fossil feedstocks such as mineral oil and related platform chemicals. These compounds may also be transformed conveniently into new innovative products for the medicinal or the agrochemical domain. The production of cosmetics or surfactants as well as materials for different applications are examples for other domains where new platform chemicals obtained from biomass can be used. Photochemical and especially photocatalytic reactions have recently been recognized as being important tools of organic chemistry as they make compounds or compound families available that cannot be or are difficultly synthesized with conventional methods of organic synthesis. The present review gives a short overview with selected examples on photocatalytic reactions of biopolymers, carbohydrates, fatty acids and some biomass-derived platform chemicals such as furans or levoglucosenone. In this article, the focus is on application to organic synthesis.

Abstract
The continuous search for novel biobased polymers with high-performance properties has highlighted the role of monofuranic-based polyesters as some of the most promising for future plastic industry but has neglected the huge potential for the polymers' innovation, relatively low cost, and synthesis easiness of 5,5'-isopropylidene bis-(ethyl 2-furoate) (DEbF), obtained from the platform chemical, worldwide-produced furfural. In this vein, poly(1,12-dodecylene 5,5'-isopropylidene -bis(ethyl 2-furoate)) (PDDbF) was introduced, for the first time, as a biobased bisfuranic long-chain aliphatic polyester with an extreme flexibility function, competing with fossil-based polyethylene. This new polyester in-depth characterization confirmed its expected structure (FTIR, 1H, and 13C NMR) and relevant thermal features (DSC, TGA, and DMTA), notably, an essentially amorphous character with a glass transition temperature of -6 °C and main maximum decomposition temperature of 340 °C. Furthermore, PDDbF displayed an elongation at break as high as 732%, around five times higher than that of the 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid counterpart, stressing the unique features of the bisfuranic class of polymers compared to monofuranic ones. The enhanced ductility combined with the relevant thermal properties makes PDDbF a highly promising material for flexible packaging.

Abstract
Furfural (C5H4O2) is an important platform chemical for the synthesis of next-generation bio-fuels. Herein, we report a novel and reusable heterogeneous catalyst, Pd-PdO/ZnSO4 with 1.1 mol% palladium (Pd), for the production of furfural by flash pyrolysis of lignocelluloses at 400 °C. For both dry and wet C6 cellulose and its monomers, the furfural yields reach 74-82 mol%, relative to 96 mol% from C5 xylan and 23-33 wt% from sugarcane bagasse and corncob. The catalyst has a well-defined structure and bifunctional property, comprising a ZnSO4 support for the dehydration and isomerization of glucose, and a local core-shell configuration for metallic Pd0 encapsulated by an oxide (PdO) layer. The PdO layer is active for the Grob fragmentation of formaldehyde (HCHO) from glucose, which is subsequently in-situ steam reformed into syn-gas (i.e. H2 and CO), whereas the Pd0 core is active in promoting the last dehydration step for the formation of furfural.

Abstract
Herein, we report a simple and highly efficient approach for simultaneous in situ synthesis of Cu nanoparticles on Mg-Al-LDH (in situ reduced CuMgAl-LDH) from Cu-Mg-Al ternary LDH and catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural (FAL) to furfuryl alcohol (FOL) using isopropanol (2-PrOH) as a reducing agent and hydrogen source. The in situ reduced CuMgAl-LDH, especially Cu1.5Mg1.5Al1-LDH as a precursor, offered excellent performance for the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of FAL to FOL (achieving almost full conversion with 98.2% selectivity of FOL). Strikingly, the in situ reduced catalyst was robust and stable with a wide scope in the transfer hydrogenation of various biomass-derived carbonyl compounds.

Abstract
Furfural is one of the most important biomass platform compounds and can be used to prepare various high-value-added chemicals. The reactions of furfural with aliphatic alcohols via an oxidative esterification reaction or oxidative condensation reaction can bond two carbon molecules together and produce longer hydrocarbon chains chemicals, including methylfuroate and some low-volatility liquid biomass fuels. Thus, these reactions are considered significant utilization routes of furfural, and many inspiring catalytic systems have been designed to promoted these reactions. In this work, the reported catalytic systems for the oxidative esterification and oxidative condensation reactions are reviewed separately. The catalysts for the oxidative esterification reaction are reviewed for the classification of noble metal catalysts and non-noble metal catalysts, according to the active metals in the catalysts. For the oxidative condensation reactions, the studies using oxygen as the oxidant are reviewed firstly, and then the studies conducted using the hydrogen transfer process are analyzed subsequently. Furthermore, suggestions for future research directions for the oxidative esterification and oxidative condensation reactions are put forward.

Abstract
An exceptional oxygen barrier polyester prepared from a new biomass-derived monomer, 3,3'-bifuran-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid, is reported. When exposed to air, the furan-based polyester cross-links and gains O2 permeability 2 orders of magnitude lower than initially, resulting in performance comparable to the best polymers in this class, such as ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers. The cross-links hinder the crystallization of amorphous samples, also rendering them insoluble. The process was observable via UV-vis measurements, which showed a gradual increase of absorbance between wavelengths of 320 and 520 nm in free-standing films. The structural trigger bringing about these changes appears subtle: the polyester containing 5,5'-disubstituted 3,3'-bifuran moieties cross-linked, whereas the polyester with 5,5'-disubstituted 2,2'-bifuran moieties was inert. The 3,3'-bifuran-based polyester is effectively a semicrystalline thermoplastic, which is slowly converted into a cross-linked material with intriguing material properties once sufficiently exposed to ambient air.

Abstract
The one-pot alkoxycarbonylation of halo-free alkylaryl and furanyl alcohols represents a sustainable alternative for the synthesis of alkylaryl and furanyl acetates. In this paper, the reaction between benzyl alcohol, chosen as a model substrate, CH3OH and CO was tested in the presence of a homogeneous palladium catalyst, an activator (isopropenyl acetate (IPAc) or dimethyl carbonate (DMC)) and a base (Cs2CO3). The influence of various reaction parameters such as the CO pressure, ligand and palladium precursor employed, mmol% catalyst load, temperature and time were investigated. The results demonstrate that decreasing the CO pressure from 50 bar to 5 bar at 130 °C for 18 h increases yields in benzyl acetate from 36% to over 98%. Further experiments were performed in the presence of piperonyl and furfuryl alcohol, interesting substrates employed for the synthesis of various fine chemicals. Moreover, furfuryl alcohol is a lignocellulosic-derived building block employed for the synthesis of functionalized furans such as 2-alkylfurfuryl acetates. Both the alcohols were successfully transformed in the corresponding acetate (yields above 96%) in rather mild reaction conditions (5–0.01 mol% catalyst, 5–2 bar CO pressure, 130 °C, 4–18h), demonstrating that the alkoxycarbonylation of alcohols represents a promising sustainable alternative to more impactful industrial practices adopted to date for the synthesis of alkylaryl and furfuryl acetates.

Subnanometric Cu clusters on atomically Fe-doped MoO 2 for furfural upgrading to aviation biofuels. Nat Commun 2022; 13:2591.

Abstract
Single cluster catalysts (SCCs) are considered as versatile boosters in heterogeneous catalysis due to their modifiable single cluster sites and supports. In this work, we report subnanometric Cu clusters dispersed on Fe-doped MoO2 support for biomass-derived furfural upgrading. Systematical characterizations suggest uniform Cu clusters (composing four Cu atoms in average) are homogeneously immobilized on the atomically Fe-doped ultrafine MoO2 nanocrystals (Cu4/Fe0.3Mo0.7O2@C). The atomic doping of Fe into MoO2 leads to significantly modified electronic structure and consequently charge redistribution inside the supported Cu clusters. The as-prepared Cu4/Fe0.3Mo0.7O2@C shows superior catalytic performance in the oxidative coupling of furfural with C3~C10 primary/secondary alcohols to produce C8~C15 aldehydes/ketones (aviation biofuel intermediates), outperforming the conventionally prepared counterparts. DFT calculations and control experiments are further carried out to interpret the structural and compositional merits of Cu4/Fe0.3Mo0.7O2@C in the oxidative coupling reaction, and elucidate the reaction pathway and related intermediates.

Abstract
This mini-review highlights the recent research trends in designing organic or organic-inorganic hybrid molecular, biomolecular and macromolecular systems employing intermolecular Diels–Alder cycloadditions of biobased, furan-containing substrates and maleimide dienophiles. The furan/maleimide Diels–Alder reaction is a well-known process that may proceed with high efficiency under non-catalytic and solvent-free conditions. Due to the simplicity, 100% atom economy and biobased nature of many furanic substrates, this type of [4+2]-cycloaddition may be recognized as a sustainable “click” approach with high potential for application in many fields, such as fine organic synthesis, bioorganic chemistry, material sciences and smart polymers development.
