“…Currently, the commercial processes for MAN, MA, and SA production are all based on fossil feedstocks. Typically, MAN can be produced by oxidation of benzene or butane, and the route starting from butane is preferred for economic and environmental reasons as well as its stoichiometric advantage (no loss of carbon atoms). − Subsequent hydrolysis of MAN produces MA, while SA is mainly produced by selective hydrogenation of MAN or MA. With the increasing depletion of fossil resources, more interest has been devoted to the production of acid anhydrides and dicarboxylic acids using biomass as raw materials.…”

Furfural is a promising renewable platform compound derived from lignocellulosic biomass that can be further converted to biofuels and biochemicals. The highly functionalized molecular structure of furfural makes it a desired raw material for the sustainable production of value-added chemicals containing oxygen atoms. The conversion of furfural to C4 and C5 chemicals by various catalytic processes is reviewed. The C5 chemicals are mainly produced through sequential steps of selective hydrogenation and/or hydrogenolysis, while most of the C4 chemicals are synthesized with selective oxidation as the first step. This review divides the chemical products from furfural into several groups according to their carbon numbers and synthesis routes, with emphasis on the catalysts and reaction mechanisms. The applications of these chemicals and their traditional production from fossil feedstocks have also been added as background information. Additionally, recent advances in the development of heterogeneous catalysts for furfural production are briefly reviewed.

“…In 1930, MA was produced by the selective oxidation of benzene due to low cost and mediumsize plants. But now, the cost of benzene is very high so butane based process is preferred route used by most manufacturers [2]. PA was discovered in 1836 by Auguste Laurent [3] .…”

Vanadium phosphorus oxide (VPO) catalysts have been employed in partial oxidation of n-butane and n-pentane. In this study, VPO catalysts were synthesized by refluxing vanadyl phosphate dihydrate (VOPO4•2H2O) with isobutanol and modified with transition metals promoters such as Co, Bi, Fe, and Mn at the mass ratio of M/V 0.35. In the first part, Mn was found to be the best metal to improve the performances of VPO catalyst in n-pentane oxidation. Then the Mn-VPO catalysts were prepared with different ratios of Mn/V loadings at 0.25, 0.35, 0.45, 0.55, and 0.65. All the catalysts were calcined at 300ᵒC for 8 h to generate the vanadyl pyrophosphate ((VO)2P2O7) phase which is the active phase of VPO catalysts and was confirmed by the XRD results. As shown by SEM results, all the synthesized catalysts showed the rosette-shape morphologies of vanadyl pyrophosphate. The transition metal promoted catalysts presented the formation of V4+ state which provided a better catalytic performance with 42.7-55.8% n-pentane conversion, 28.9-62.5% MA selectivity, and 8-13.1% PA selectivity. The optimum ratio of Mn/V was determined to be at 0.45
