Electrochemical Transformation of Bio-Derived Furans Using a Salen-Manganese Homogeneous Catalyst

The electrochemical oxidation of HMF (5-hydroxymethylfurfural) to DMF (2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde) catalysed by a salen-manganese homogeneous catalyst is reported. DMF is a versatile precursor in the synthesis of functional polymers, pharmaceuticals, antifungal agents, and furan-urea resins. A mangan...
