T1 - Enzyme cascade reactions: synthesis of furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and carboxylic acids using oxidases in tandem JF - Green chemistry : an international journal and green chemistry resource N2 - A one-pot tandem enzyme reaction using galactose oxidase M3-5 and aldehyde oxidase PaoABC was used to convert hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to the pure bioplastics precursor FDCA in 74% isolated yield. A range of alcohols was also converted to carboxylic acids in high yield under mild conditions.
