Abstract

Abstract A short and effective method for preparation and isolation of furan-2, 5-dicarboxylic acid has been developed. Furan-2, 5-dicarboxylic acid was prepared directly from furan-2- carboxylic acid in one step under strong basic conditions using carbon dioxide. This method allows to obtain the product with high added value, furan-2, 5-dicarboxylic acid, from natural sources such as hemicelluloses containing pentoses. Keywords: Furan-2, 5-dicarboxylic ...
