✦ Synopsis

The mechanism of selective oxidation of aqueous 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) at high pH was studied over supported Pt and Au catalysts. Results from labeling experiments conducted with 18 O 2 and H 2 18 O indicated that water was the source of oxygen atoms during the oxidation of HMF to 2-hydroxymethylfurancarboxylic acid (HFCA) and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), presumably through direct participation of hydroxide in the catalytic cycle. Molecular oxygen was essential for the production of FDCA and played an indirect role during oxidation by removing electrons deposited into the supported metal particles. A reaction path for HMF oxidation to FDCA was proposed.

The structure–activity relationship and reaction mechanism for selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) in toluene were studied on vanadium oxide domains on TiO~2~, Al~2~O~3~, Nb~2~O~5~, ZrO~2~, and MgO and with a wide range of VO~__x__~ surface densities. The
