Abstract

The conversion of biomass-derived molecules into adipic acid represents a highly attractive green route for sustainable production of adipic acid, a key monomer of nylon 66 and polyurethane. Here, we report the direct synthesis of adipic acid from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, which can be obtained from cellulose-based 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, using a niobic acid-supported platinum catalyst under hydrogen in water.
