	abstract = {<p>An efficient solvent mediated \&amp; use of metal-free catalyst strategy was developed for synthesis of FDCA over two steps. A simple \&amp; economical glucose-hydrothermally carbonized (Glu-HTC) catalyst was prepared and evaluated for synthesis of 2,5-Diformyl furan (DFF) from fructose \&amp; 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in the 1(st) step. DFF was then converted to FDCA using Pinnick oxidation in the 2(nd) step. DFF was obtained in 82\% \&amp; 86\% yields from fructose \&amp; HMF respectively whereas FDCA was obtained in 94-95\% yield from DFF. FDCA was thus formed in an overall yield of 78\% and 81\% from fructose \&amp; HMF respectively. This strategy eliminated use of expensive noble metals for FDCA synthesis and also intermediates such as HMFCA \&amp; FFCA were not observed after the reaction as DFF was completely oxidized to FDCA.</p>
