Two carboxylic acid groups are joined to a central furan ring to form furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA), an organic molecule. Rudolph Fittig and Heinzelmann developed it by reacting concentrated hydrobromic acid with mucic acid, initially describing it described it as dehydromucic acid in 1876.
Because it can replace terephthalic acid (PTA) in the synthesis of polyesters and other modern polymers with an aromatic moiety, Furan-2,5-dicarboxylic Acid FDCA has been proposed as a crucial renewable building block. It is frequently utilized as a precursor in producing different polymers, including bio-based polyesters. There have also been reports of the use of FDCA in synthesizing various metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
Regarding safety, Furan-2,5-dicarboxylic Acid FDCA is classified as an eye irritant (Eye Irrit. 2), and appropriate precautions should be taken when handling it. The recommended precautionary statements include wearing protective gloves and eye/face protection, washing thoroughly after handling, and seeking medical advice if eye irritation persists.
FDCA is a renewable and environmentally friendly alternative to terephthalate in polyester manufacture. It is commonly utilised as a precursor for producing bio-based polyesters and other polymers.
FDCA has also been used to synthesise a variety of metal-organic frameworks.
Our scientists have experience in all research areas, including life science, material science, chemical custom synthesis, chromatography, analytical science, and many others.
