A new, sustainable catalytic route for the synthesis of tetrahydrofuran-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (THFDCA), a compound with potential application in polymer industry, is presented starting from the bio-based platform chemical 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF). This conversion was successfully achieved via oxidation of tetrahydrofuran-2,5-dimethanol (THFDM) over hydrotalcite (HT)-supported gold nanoparticle catalysts (∼2 wt %) in water. THFDM was readily obtained with high yield (>99%) from HMF at a demonstrated 20 g scale by catalytic hydrogenation. The highest yield of THFDCA (91%) was achieved after 7 h at 110 °C under 30 bar air pressure and without addition of a homogeneous base. Additionally, Au–Cu bimetallic catalysts supported on HT were prepared and showed enhanced activity at lower temperature compared to the monometallic gold catalysts. In addition to THFDCA, the intermediate oxidation product with one alcohol and one carboxylic acid group (5-hydroxymethyl tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid, THFCA) was...
