Graphical In this study, a straightforward coprecipitation method was employed to synthesize the bimetallic catalyst MnO@Co-CN, which demonstrates high efficiency in catalyzing the direct oxidative esterification of HMF to produce FDMC with a yield reaching 90.3%. The synergistic interactions between the dual metals during the reaction significantly enhance the catalytic performance for optimal oxidative esterification. As a versatile platform molecule derived from biomass, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has the potential to be transformed into a variety of chemicals. Of these, furan-2,5-dimethylcarboxylate (FDMC) stands out as an excellent precursor for the synthesis of poly(ethylene furandicarboxylate) (PEF), a polymer with broad applications in the production of various polymeric materials. However, a majority of studies have focused on the use of noble metal catalysts to achieve the direct oxidative esterification of HMF for the production of FDMC. Given the scarcity and high cost of noble metal catalysts, there is a pressing need to develop non-noble metal catalysts to efficiently facilitate the direct oxidative esterification of HMF. Accordingly, a bimetallic catalyst, MnO@Co-CN, was prepared in this paper by a simple coprecipitation method, and a 90.3% FDMC yield was obtained under optimal conditions. The findings revealed that in the oxidative esterification of HMF, MnO x predominantly adsorbs the reactants onto the catalyst surface, whereas CoO x is primarily responsible for the oxidation. The synergistic interaction between Mn and Co enhances the catalytic performance, leading to the superior oxidative esterification outcomes. This work offers a cost-effective, scalable method for FDMC synthesis, highlighting potential for industrial applications.

Ni-Co nano-alloys confined by in-situ formed N-doped porous carbon overlayer have been prepared through chelation of metal cations with citric acid and urea followed by carbonization for hydrodeoxygenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 2, 5-dimethylfuran (DMF). The results indicated that the Ni-Co nano-alloys were formed and homogeneously distributed within the N-doped porous carbon overlayer. The electronic effect of the Ni-Co nano-alloys significantly boosted hydrodeoxygenation activity of the Co 2 Ni 1 @NC catalyst and simultaneously inhibited further hydrogenation and opening of furan ring. The N-doped porous carbon overlayer around Ni-Co nano-alloys not only facilitated to disperse and stable Ni-Co nano-alloys through strong metal-support interaction, but also protected the Ni-Co nano-alloys from aggregation. Therefore, the Co 2 Ni 1 @NC catalyst offered superior catalytic performance with the HMF conversion of 100 % and DMF selectivity of 93.0 %. Moreover, the Co 2 Ni 1 @NC catalyst displayed excellent stability without significant activity loss after five recycles due to the spatial confinement of N-doped carbon overlayer.

UiO–66–NH 2 (Ti/Zr) modified by Ti metal oxide (TiO 2 ) was used to catalyze the hydrolysis of cellulose to prepare 5-HMF. Under the optimal reaction conditions of H 2 O(NaCl)/THF(1/4 mL), 190 °C, 2 h and 50 mg UNT-3(Ti/Zr) (TiO 2 and UiO–66–NH 2 with mass of 1.5 and 0.1 g, respectively), the yield of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural reached 59.88%. UiO–66–NH 2 (Ti/Zr) nanocomposites with different mass ratios were successfully prepared by simple solvent evaporation method. SEM and TEM have shown that the modified UiO–66–NH 2 (Ti/Zr) are wrapped into sphere by TiO 2 densely attached to the surface of UiO–66–NH 2 , which provides favorable conditions for the uniform dispersion of TiO 2 and coordination of the Lewis acidic site of UiO–66–NH 2 . NH 3 –TPD results confirmed the existence of super-strong, strong, middle and weak acid sites in UiO–66–NH 2 (Ti/Zr), and Py-FTIR confirmed the existence of Brønsted and Lewis acids. After four cycles, the yield of 5-HMF and FUR decreased slightly from 59.88 to 51.89% and 9.11 to 7.66%, respectively, and the yield of 5-HMF could still remain above 50%. The results showed that the modified composite treatment of TiO 2 with rich Lewis acid/base and UiO–66–NH 2 could provide a certain idea for the extensive application of biomass research in the future.

Using multiple techniques, this work studied the binding behaviors of decamethylcucurbit[5]uril (Me10Q[5]) with o-, m- and p-phenylenediamine (PDA) isomers both in the solid state and in aqueous solution. Experimental data indicate that Me10Q[5] forms exclusion complexes with the three PDA isomers, but their binding affinities are significantly different. Their different binding interactions provided an effective method to separate the three PDA isomers by using Me10Q[5]: when p-phenylenediamine interacts with Me10Q[5] in acidic medium (3.0 mol L−1 HCl), they precipitated immediately and quantitatively; m-phenylenediamine can continuously form microcrystals with Me10Q[5] after a period of time; however, o-phenylenediamine cannot form solid substances with Me10Q[5] under the same conditions.

Modulating the electronic structure of metal nanoparticles (NPs) demonstrates to be useful for the optimization of the catalytic performance. Herein, electron-sufficient ruthenium NPs were successfully constructed on a nitrogen-doped carbon support (Ru x -NC), which displayed excellent catalytic activity for the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Especially, a high FDCA yield of 97% was implemented over Ru 2.0 /NC catalyst in water. The FDCA productivity in this case is also as high as 4.8 mol FDCA ‧mol Ru −1 ‧h −1 , which value exceeds most of the previous reported Ru-based catalysts for the production of FDCA. It has been disclosed that the Ru 2.0 /NC was endowed with high N content and abundant electron-rich Ru 0 NPs evoked by the electronic interactions between the NC support the Ru NPs. These facts greatly contribute to the activation of O 2 , and accelerate the oxidation both of the hydroxymethyl and aldehyde groups of HMF to the carboxyl one. This work provides new understanding for the development of effective Ru-based catalysts for the catalytic oxidation reactions by the electronic structure regulation strategy.

The oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to produce high value-added 5-formyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (FFCA) represents a promising biomass conversion reaction that holds potential for biomass-based material for the drug synthesis and polyester industry. The present study presents a metal-free and alkali-free catalytic system consisting of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as an organic molecule and a deep eutectic solvent (DES). This system was successfully employed for the aerobic oxidation process of HMF to FFCA, demonstrating exceptional catalytic activity with 100% conversion and 96% FFCA yield in the absence of any alkali. Multiple hydrogen bond interactions were found to be indispensable and play a crucial role in promoting the catalytic process. These H-bond interactions serve three essential purposes: facilitating the formation of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) between polyethylene glycol and tetrabutylammonium chloride, accelerating the dissolution and activation of HMF, and aiding in the generation of active free radicals for NHPI. This work demonstrated the predominant oxidation ability of the NHPI-DESs system for the oxidation of HMF to FFCA through hydrogen bond interaction, thereby offering invaluable insights into the aerobic oxidation processes involving hydrocarbons or alcohols.

The global increasing incidence of clinical infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens demands urgent and effective treatment strategies. Antibiotic adjuvants represent a promising approach to enhance the efficacy of meropenem against carbapenem-resistant bacteria. Herein, we identified the anticancer agent 5-fluorouracil (5-FU, 50 µM) significantly reduced the minimal inhibitory concentration of meropenem against bla NDM-5 positive Escherichia coli by 32-fold through cell-based high-throughput screening. Further pharmacological studies indicated that 5-FU exhibited the potentiation effects on carbapenem antibiotics against 42 Gram-negative bacteria producing either metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), such as NDM and IMP, or serine β-lactamases (Ser-BLs), like KPC and OXA. These bacteria included E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. , with 32 of them obtained from human clinical samples. Mechanistic investigations revealed that 5-FU inhibited the transcriptional and expressional level of the bla NDM-5 gene. Additionally, the 5-FU combined with meropenem can enhance bacterial metabolism, and stimulate the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), thereby rendering bacteria more susceptible to meropenem. This drug combination could effectively elevate the survival rate from 16.7% to 83.3% compared to meropenem monotherapy, and reduce bacteria loads in tissues in a mouse systemic infection model. Collectively, these findings reveal that the potential of 5-FU as a novel meropenem adjuvant to improve treatment outcomes against carbapenem-resistant bacteria infections.

Graphical Cleaning up catalysis : There is a great need for the eco-efficient and sustainable oxidation of bio-based chemicals by using clean catalysts. In this study, magnetic laccase catalyst with TEMPO as the mediator showed high activity in the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). Interesting and promising results were obtained, with 90.2 % yield of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and complete HMF conversion. 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a bio-based platform chemical for the production of polyethylene furanoate (PEF) and other valuable furanic chemicals. A magnetic laccase catalyst with (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO) as the mediator has the remarkable capability of oxidizing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Under optimal reaction conditions, a quantitative yield (90.2 %) of FDCA with complete HMF conversion was obtained after 96 h of reaction. More importantly, the magnetic laccase catalyst exhibited good recyclability and stability, maintaining 84.8 % of its original activity following six reuse cycles. This is the first report on the efficient catalytic oxidation of HMF to FDCA by using an immobilized enzyme catalyst.

A base-free catalytic system for the aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural was exploited by using Pt nanoparticles immobilized onto a thermoresponsive poly(acrylamide- co -acrylonitrile)- b -poly( N -vinylimidazole) block copolymer, with an upper critical solution temperature of about 45 °C. The Pt nanocatalysts were well-dispersed and highly active for the base-free oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural by molecular oxygen in water, affording high yields of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (up to >99.9%). The imidazole groups in the block copolymer were conducive to the improvement of catalytic performance. Moreover, the catalysts could be easily separated and recovered based on their thermosensitivity by cooling the reaction system below the upper critical solution temperature. Good stability and reusability were observed over these copolymer-immobilized catalysts with no obvious decrease in catalytic activity in the five consecutive cycles.

For the biomass catalytic valorization in the presence of a H2 atmosphere, large amounts of H2O and H2 are necessary to improve the processing efficiency, which resulted in the waste of such generous inputs. As a model reaction, the traditional hydrodeoxygenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) selectively produces 2,5-dimethylfuran (2,5-DMF) under high pressure H2. Meanwhile, the water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) can counteract the harmful CO by simultaneously producing H2 from H2O. The hydrogenolysis of 5-HMF to 2,5-DMF produces H2O because of the hydroxyl group removal. Therefore, adding a trace amount of H2O to initiate 5-HMF hydrodeoxygenation coupled with WGSR to achieve H2O recycling in the reaction process is of great significance but extremely challenging. Herein, we reported a new process for the selective hydrodeoxygenation of 5-HMF to 2,5-DMF coupled with WGSR using a single catalyst, Au/ZrO2. A detailed study showed that the hydrogen species produced in situ by WGSR was used for 5-HMF hydrodeoxygenation to obtain 78.5% of 2,5-DMF yield. The H/H2O cycle in the coupling reactions exhibited a H2 utilization efficiency of 88.2%. Without using external H2, this work provided a new method for 5-HMF hydrodeoxygenation to 2,5-DMF triggered by WGSR and also showed the potential for application in H2O-saving conversion of cellulosic biomass with C–OH or C═O groups to value-added chemicals and fuels.

In this study, aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) was studied over a magnetic catalyst [Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-Ru(III)]. Various reaction parameters were optimized for the oxidation of HMF into DFF. A high DFF of 86.4% and HMF conversion of 99.3% were obtained after 4 h at 120 °C. More importantly, the catalyst also showed high catalytic activity in air, and high HMF conversion of 99.7% and DFF yield of 86.8% were obtained after 16 h. The high catalytic performance of Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-Ru(III) in air makes this method much more convenient and economical. Moreover, the procedure of the catalyst recycle was simple as the Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-Ru(III) catalyst could be readily recovered from the reaction mixture by a permanent magnet. The catalyst could be reused several times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

The green synthesis of b-axis-oriented ZSM-5 nanosheets (NSs) is essential for facilitating their industrial production. Here, a set of cost-effective and eco-friendly additives is introduced for the tailored synthesis of thin ZSM-5 NSs with a b-axis thickness of 40 nm with the assistance of small seeds. Through a comprehensive exploration of synthesis methods and electron microscopy analysis, this work elucidates the pivotal roles of seeds and additives in controlling the crystal size and steering anisotropic growth kinetics during the crystallization process. The shortened straight channels of the thin ZSM-5 NSs along the b-axis significantly enhance the rapid transport of molecules within the micropores, thus manifesting a distinct catalytic advantage in the alkylation of benzene with methanol and methanol-to-propylene (MTP) conversion. Notably, the utilization of fluorine-free additives in the synthesis of thin ZSM-5 NSs marks an important step forward in zeolite materials, bridging the gap between laboratory experimentation and industrial scale-up.
