Front Cover: Hydrogen Peroxide Assisted Selective Oxidation of 5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural in Water under Mild Conditions (ChemCatChem 2/2018)

The Front Cover shows that the fine chemicals 5‐formyl‐2‐furoic acid (FFCA) and 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) can be separately synthesized in water from 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a platform chemical derived from cellulose, with the assistance of H2O2 and a ruthenium catalyst with an effective catalytic performance. In their Communication, C.‐T. Chen et al. demonstrate that the reaction system can be operated at atmospheric pressure below 100 °C within a short reaction time. More information can be found in the Communication by C.‐T. Chen et al. on page 361 in Issue 2, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201701302).
