Multicatalysis from renewable resources: a direct route to furan-based polyesters

Abstract

Here we present a multicatalytic route to produce 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan and the corresponding (co)polymers from stable 2,5-furanedicarboxylic acid. This approach combines the use of several commercial catalysts and in particular allows to quantitatively obtain two key furan intermediates, not contaminated by humins.
