Aerial transformation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). HMF is typically obtained from the dehydration of lignocellulose; its conversion into FDCA provides an important polymer building block for the production of biopolymers (e.g., polyamides and polyesters).
