Stabilization of 5-HMF in highly alkaline electrolytes through acetalization for the selective electrooxidation to FFCA
Abstract
Acetalization of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural shifts selectivity during alkaline electrooxidation toward 5-formyl-2-furancarboxylic acid. This protective strategy prevents humin formation and enables high yields and efficiency under harsh conditions.
