The selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) is one of the rapidly growing research area due to having its own importance in the fuel technology. We report a new heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidation of HMF to DFF in aqeous medium using a carbon soot deposited on magnetite (Fe3O4@C). Further, the potentiality of our catalyst has also been realized in direct production of DFF from biomass (using either fructose or glucose) with high conversions via two consecutive steps.
