In this study, we demonstrate a novel catalyst design that involves the encapsulation of CuNi alloy nanoparticles within mesoporous silicon carbide nanofibers (mSiC_(f)) to achieve efficient tandem conversion of furfural (FFA) into 2-(isopropoxymethyl)furan (IPF). The unique one-dimensional (1D) mesoporous structure of mSiC_(f), coupled with abundant oxygen-containing groups, offers a favorable surface microenvironment for the stabilization of bimetallic CuNi active sites. Through carefully optimizing metal to acid sites, we have developed a catalyst containing a total mass ratio of 20 % Cu and Ni, which exhibits a remarkable performance with complete FFA conversion and 92 % IPF selectivity in 4 h. In-depth mechanistic investigations have revealed that the superior activity of this catalyst is attributed to a tandem reaction mechanism. Initially, FFA is hydrogenated at the dual metal active sites to produce furfuryl alcohol (FOL) as an intermediate, which is subsequently etherified at the acid sites with suitable species and strengths on the mSiC_(f) supports. Additionally, the robust 1D mSiC_(f) framework effectively protects the metal sites from agglomeration, resulting in excellent reusability of the catalyst. This study underscores the potential of mesoporous silicon carbide-supported bimetallic active sites for achieving enhanced tandem catalytic functionality.展开更多

In recent years, great efforts have been made to synthesize 2,5-FDCA through the following methods：（1） oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural（HMF） in the presence of complex biocatalyst or metallic catalyst;（2） conversion of 2-furoic acid via the well-known Henkel Reaction. Herein, a new strategy for the synthesis of 2,5-FDCA from furan and acetic anhydride under mild condition is reported. The purity of the resulted 2,5-FDCA was above 99.9%. Acetic acid and iodoform generated in the reaction were recyclable and no other harmful by-products were detected. The thus-obtained 2,5-FDCA was applied for the preparation of poly（ethylene furandicarboxylate）（PEF） of high quality in terms of high molecular weight and good appearance.展开更多

Many efforts have been made on the synthesis of aromatic building blocks such as benzene, thiophene and pyrrole due to the facile preparation accompanied by the intrinsic environmental stability and relatively efficient properties of the resulting polymers. In the past, furan has been less explored in this field because of its high oxidation potential. Recently, furan has attracted obsession due to its weaker aromaticity, the greater solubilities of furan-containing π-conjugated polymers relative to other benzenoid systems and the accessibility of furan-based starting materials from renewable resources. This review elaborates the advancements of organic photovoltaic polymers containing furan building blocks. The uniqueness and advantages of furan-containing building blocks in semiconducting materials are also discussed.展开更多

文摘Catalytic reduction systems of 2-furancarboxylic acid(FCA)and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA)with H 2 without reduction of the carboxyl groups are reviewed.FCA and FDCA are produced from furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural which are important platform chemicals in biomass conversions.Furan ring hydrogenation to tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid(THFCA)and tetrahydrofuran-2,5-dicarboxylic acid(THFDCA)easily proceeds over Pd catalysts.Hydrogenolysis of one C–O bond in the furan ring produces 5-hydroxyvaleric acid(5-HVA)and 2-hydroxyadipic acid.2-Hydroxyvaleric acid is not produced in the reported systems.5-HVA can be produced as the lactone form(δ-valerolactone;DVL)or as the esters depending on the solvent.These reactions proceed over Pt catalysts with good yields(~70%)at optimized conditions.Hydrogenolysis of two C–O bonds in the furan ring produces valeric acid and adipic acid,the latter of which is a very important chemical in industry and its production from biomass is of high importance.Adipic acid from FDCA can be produced directly over Pt-MoO_(x) catalyst,indirectly via hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation as one-pot reaction using the combination of Pt and acid catalysts such as Pt/niobium oxide,or indirectly via two-step reaction composed of hydrogenation catalyzed by Pd and hydrodeoxygenation catalyzed by iodide ion in acidic conditions.Only the two-step method can give good yield of adipic acid at present.

文摘In response to the awareness of limited fossil resources and environmental concerns,catalytic conversion of renewable lignocellulose biomass to value-added chemicals and fuels is of great significance and attractive for sustainable chemistry.Division of Biomass Conversion and Bio-Energy attached to Dalian National Laboratory for Clean Energy has devoted themselves to valorization of lignocellulose biomass since launched in 2011.Our research interests focus on breeding of biomass resources(inulin and microalgae),exploration of catalytic and biological technologies,and production of energy chemicals and fuels.Although lignocellulose biomass is renewable and abundant,the way of utilization should be reasonable according to its structural characteristics in view of efficiency and economy.In this review,to celebrate the DICP's 70 th anniversary,we will highlight the major fundamental advances in DICP about the conversion of lignocellulose to value-added chemicals and liquid fuels.Particular attention will be paid to the transformation of cellulose and its derivatives to glycols,acids and nitrogen-containing chemicals,hemicellulose-derived platform molecule furfural to jet fuels and lignin to aromatics using catalytic technologies.

文摘2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid（2,5-FDCA） has been regarded as the ideal bio-based alternative to terephthalic acid（TPA）. In recent years, great efforts have been made to synthesize 2,5-FDCA through the following methods：（1） oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural（HMF） in the presence of complex biocatalyst or metallic catalyst;（2） conversion of 2-furoic acid via the well-known Henkel Reaction. Herein, a new strategy for the synthesis of 2,5-FDCA from furan and acetic anhydride under mild condition is reported. The purity of the resulted 2,5-FDCA was above 99.9%. Acetic acid and iodoform generated in the reaction were recyclable and no other harmful by-products were detected. The thus-obtained 2,5-FDCA was applied for the preparation of poly（ethylene furandicarboxylate）（PEF） of high quality in terms of high molecular weight and good appearance.
文摘In this study,the 24 h tensile strength of new type acetone-urea-formaldehyde furan resin (nitrogen content 3%) was investigated by uniform design optimization.Four independent variables such as acetone:formaldehyde molar ratio (mol/mol),solution pH value,reaction temperature (℃) and reaction time (min) were considered in the experiments.U13(134) uniform design was employed and the equation of 24 h tensile strength model was obtained after 13 experimentations.The 24 h tensile strength was optimized by applying single factor experiments and stepwise non-linear regression analysis.Minitab (Minitab 15 trial version) and MATLAB (R2010a trial version) were used for data analysis.The t-value and p-value indicate that the major impact factors include the interaction effect of solution pH value and reaction temperature (X2X3),the linear terms of acetone:formaldehyde molar ratio (X1),reaction time (X4) followed by the square effects of acetone/formaldehyde molar ratio (X1X1).The optimized results were achieved with the acetone:formaldehyde molar ratio (mol/mol) at 3:1,solution pH value at 6.0,reaction temperature at 70℃,and reaction time at 140 min,respectively.This method can not only significantly reduce the number and cost of the tests,but also provide a good experimental design strategy for the development of furan resin.The investigation shows that the predicted results of 24 h tensile strength are consistent well with the experimental ones.

文摘Development of organic semiconductors is one of the most intriguing and productive topics in material science and engineering. Many efforts have been made on the synthesis of aromatic building blocks such as benzene, thiophene and pyrrole due to the facile preparation accompanied by the intrinsic environmental stability and relatively efficient properties of the resulting polymers. In the past, furan has been less explored in this field because of its high oxidation potential. Recently, furan has attracted obsession due to its weaker aromaticity, the greater solubilities of furan-containing π-conjugated polymers relative to other benzenoid systems and the accessibility of furan-based starting materials from renewable resources. This review elaborates the advancements of organic photovoltaic polymers containing furan building blocks. The uniqueness and advantages of furan-containing building blocks in semiconducting materials are also discussed.

文摘In order to find better herbicidal activity and fungicidal activity of a-amino acid derivatives, we introduced furan rings and pyridyl groups to seven different a-amino acids to form a series of 14 novel a-amino acylamines derivatives via dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/4-dimethylaminopyridine（DCC/DMAP） coupling method. The structures of all the compounds prepared were confirmed by IR, LC/MS, IH NMR, and elemental analysis. The herbicidal and fungicidal results show that some compounds containing glycine and valine substrate have good activities.

文摘Diterpenoid lactones(DLs),a group of furan-containing compounds found in Dioscorea bulbifera L.(DB),have been reported to be associated with hepatotoxicity.Different hepatotoxicities of these DLs have been observed in vitro,but reasonable explanations for the differential hepatotoxicity have not been provided.Herein,the present study aimed to confirm the potential factors that contribute to varied hepatotoxicity of four representative DLs(diosbulbins A,B,C,F).In vitro toxic effects were evaluated in various cell models and the interactions between DLs and CYP3 A4 at the atomic level were simulated by molecular docking.Results showed that DLs exhibited varied cytotoxicities,and that CYP3 A4 played a modulatory role in this process.Moreover,structural variation may cause different affinities between DLs and CYP3 A4,which was positively correlated with the observation of cytotoxicity.In addition,analysis of the glutathione(GSH)conjugates indicated that reactive intermediates were formed by metabolic oxidation that occurred on the furan moiety of DLs,whereas,GSH consumption analysis reflected the consistency between the reactive metabolites and the hepatotoxicity.Collectively,our findings illustrated that the metabolic regulation played a crucial role in generating the varied hepatotoxicity of DLs.
文摘The selective oxidation of 2,5‐bis(hydroxymethyl)furan(BHMF)in this work was proven as a promising route to produce 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA),an emerging bio‐based building‐block with wide application.Under ambient pressure,the modified carbon nanotube‐supported Pd‐based catalysts demonstrate the maximum FDCA yield of 93.0%with a full conversion of BHMF after 60 min at 60°C,much superior to that of the traditional route using 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF)as substrates(only a yield of 35.7%).The participation of PdH_(x) active species with metallic Pd can be responsible for the encouraging performance.Meanwhile,a possible reaction pathway proceeding through 2,5‐diformylfuran(DFF)and 5‐formyl‐2‐furancarboxylic acid(FFCA)as process intermediates is suggested for BHMF route.The present work may provide new opportunities to synthesize other high value‐added oxygenates by using BHMF as an alternative feedstock.
文摘Photoinduoed reaction of chloranil (TCBQ) with 2-methylfuran la and 2,5-dimethylfuran 1b in benzene gave addition products 2a and 2b respecvely together with tetrachlorohydroquinone 3. A mechanism of sequential electron and proton transfer from la or 1b to ~3TCBQ followed by coupling of the furfuryl and semiquinone radical pairs was proposed and is evidenced by the photo-CIDNP studies of the TCBQ-1a and TCBQ-1b systems.
