• formation of the expected 5-benzylidenerhodanine 3i under the optimized conditions with a slightly lower yield (3i versus 3a). Finally, we also decided to investigate the reactivity of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). Indeed, HMF is considered as one of the most promising biomass-derived platform chemicals

• storable energy carrier. We report on the anodic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to afford the more valuable product 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) as a suitable alternative to the oxygen evolution reaction. Notably, HMF oxidation is thermodynamically more favorable than water oxidation and

• valuable product is an appealing approach for increasing the competitiveness of the electrochemical hydrogen production. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a biomass-derived compound that can be converted to economically more valuable 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) via electrochemical oxidation at a
