Pulcherrimin: a bio-derived iron chelate catalyst for base-free oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to furandicarboxylic acid

This study explores the green and sustainable catalytic properties of pulcherrimin, a naturally occurring iron chelate, for the base-free oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) to high-value products such as 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid...
