One divided into two combined into one: The catalytic conversion of furfural into a 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid‐based polyester, linked by the disproportionation of furoate to furan and 2,5‐furandicarboxylate, is reported. In this manner, all carbons are utilized, demonstrating the success of combining a platform molecule from C 5 sugars (furfural) to one from C 6 sugars (2,5‐FDCA).
