Biomass valorisation through the selective oxidation of carbohydrate and lipid derivatives offers access to an array of platform chemicals through energy- and atom-efficient catalytic processes. Supported metal nanoparticles are promising catalysts for the aerobic selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), but typically require strong liquid base to achieve high selectivity. Here, we explore the utility of MgO as a solid base support for the Ru-catalysed aerobic oxidation of HMF, obtaining 68% FDCA yield at 160°C and 1.5 MPa of O2 using <1 mol-% metal.
