A chemical intermediate with Big Mo’: The Digest’s 2016 8-Slide Guide to FDCA

To accompany our coverage this week of advanced chemicals with 5-HMF and its derivative, FDCA, we turn to a first-class study done by Weastra on the potential of selected bio-based chemical intermediates, specifically succinic acid, itaconic acid and FDCA (2,5-furandicarboxylic acid). Here we focus on the FDCA elements of the study, the complete text of which can be found here.
