Impact of the Electrochemically Inert Furan Ring on the Oxidation of the Alcohol and Aldehyde Functional Group of 5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)

Abstract The electrochemical oxidation of bio‐based 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) results in 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), which is a renewable and environmentally friendly alternative to terephthalic acid. Using a gold electrode, we compare the electrochemical oxidation of the aldehyde and alc...
