摘要 |
The present invention relates to an improved process for manufacturing of esters of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FD-CA-esters) by reacting 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) with one or more alcohols in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst. The use of the heterogeneous catalyst, which may be a Bronsted or Lewis acid, allows for production of high yields of FDCA esters. Furthermore, the catalyst can conveniently be recycled after completion of the reaction. |
