Enhanced carboxylation of furoic salt with CO₂ by ZnCl₂ coordination for efficient production of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid

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...
