- Furfural is a compound that can be produced in large quantities from the chemical and thermal treatment of lignocellulose and possesses exceptional potential as a platform chemical. Furoic acid can be produced through the selective oxidation of furfural. Furoic acid is currently produced industrially via a reaction with NaOH. This work is important as it was previously suggested that using heterogeneous catalyst is unfeasible, due to the formation of undesirable by-products. This novel work shows that this is not the case and heterogeneous gold-palladium catalysts can carry out this reaction efficiently.
