Furan fluorescence: 5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural, available from biomass, is efficiently oxidized to 2,5‐diformylfuran by using molecular oxygen, under mild conditions. The oxidation is catalyzed by Cu(NO 3 ) 2 /VOSO 4 . The renewable, rather than petroleum‐based, furan dialdehyde is used for the synthesis of a fluorescent material.
