Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method of preparing 2,5-furandimethylcarboxylate (FDMC), including preparing 2,5-furandimethylcarboxylate (FDMC) by subjecting a reaction mixture including 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), air, and an alcohol solvent to oxidative esterification in the presence of a gold (Au)-nanoparticle-supported catalyst, in which the gold (Au)-nanoparticle-supported catalyst includes a support and gold (Au) nanoparticles supported on the support.
Claims5
A method of preparing 2,5-furandimethylcarboxylate (FDMC), comprising:
- preparing 2,5-furandimethylcarboxylate (FDMC) by subjecting a reaction mixture comprising 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), air and an alcohol solvent to oxidative esterification using a gold (Au)-nanoparticles/hydroxyapatite (HAP)-supported catalyst,
- wherein the HAP is used as a support on which the gold (Au) nanoparticles are supported,
- wherein the oxidative esterification is carried out by entering air and maintaining an air pressure of 1.7 to 3.1 MPa.
