Abstract:5‐(Hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) is a key platform chemical derived from renewable biomass sources, holding great potential as starting material for the synthesis of valuable compounds, thereby replacing petrochemical‐derived counterparts. Among these valorised compounds, 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has emerged as a versatile building block. Here we demonstrate the biocatalytic synthesis of FDCA from HMF via a one‐pot three‐step oxidative cascade performed via two operative steps under mild reaction condi… Show more
