CAS 3238-40-2: 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid

Interest in renewable based polymers has led to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid being proposed as a green, sustainable alternative to the widely used petroleum-based terephthalic acid in the synthesis of polyesters. 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid is produced from oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) which is obtained from the dehydration of bio-based sugars such as fructose.

Applications 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid-13C6 is isotopically labelled analogue of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (F863750), which is Furan (F863650) derivative that can be produced from biomass derived sugars using catalytic processes. References Tong, X., et al.: Appl. Catal., A, 385, 1 (2010);

Stability Light Sensitive, Very Hygroscopic Applications 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid is a derivative of Furan (F863650), which can be produced from biomass-derived sugars using catalytic processes. It is one of the most important chemical building blocks from biomass. References Tong, X., et al.: Appl. Catal., A, 385, 1 (2010); Gupta, N., et al.: Green Chem., 13, 824 (2011);
