2-Furoic acid (FA) is a preservative, acting as a bactericide and fungicide. Some of the applications of 2-furoic acid include: Synthesis of a single-molecule magnet, Mn11Gd2 based high-nuclearity heterometallic complex. Synthesis of orally active antidiabetic vanadyl complex, bis(α-furancarboxy...
A process for selectively oxidising furfural to 2-furoic acid employs concentrated hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a secondary or tertiary amine promoter, preferably in an amount of at least 0.8 moles per mole of furfural, and advantageously employing an amine promoter having a pKa of at le...
2,5-FDCA could be sustainably and economically produced by direct carboxylation of 2-furoic acid (a biomass-derived raw material) and CO2 over Cs2CO3 catalysis. In this paper, the effect of different reaction conditions on 2,5-FDCA yield was investigated, and only generation of 2,5-FDCA ...
2-Furoic acid is a heterocyclic carboxylic acid that is shown to be effective in lowering both serum cholesterol and serum triglyceride levels significantly in rats with an elevation of HDL cholesterol level at 20 mg/kg/day orally.
