Poly ethylene furanoate (PEF), which is produced from 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a biomass-derived compound, has attracted considerable attention as a sustainable polymer material. In this study, the oxidative esterification of HMF acetal over supported Au catalysts was investigated toward the synthesis of PEF precursors. The effects of support materials and Au deposition methods on catalytic activity and product selectivity were evaluated, and the reaction mechanism was discussed based on the obtained results.
