The summary is not an extensive overview of the di io rre. t is neither intended to identify key or c dea! elements of the diseiosare nor to delineate the scope of the disclosure. The following summar presents some concepts of the disclosure in. a simplified for as a prelude to description below, [0004] Aspects of the disclosure provide effective, efficient, an convenient ways of prod r n g 2 S rand carbo yite acid (FDCA), In particular, certain aspects of th disclosure provide techniques for dehydrating 4 de x -S dehy rogluear e acid (DDG) to obtai FDCA, The dehydration reaction proceeds by combining one or .more catalysts and/or one or m r solvents with a DDG starling material I some instances, the catalyst a act as a dehydrating agent and may interact with hydroxy! poops on t h DDG thereby encouraging elimination reactions to form FDCA, The catalyst and/or solvents may assist the dehydration reaction thereby producing increased yields of FDCA. [ 05] n a . first embodiment, a method of producing .FDCA includes t g g DD into contact with a solvent in the presence of a catalyst ie,g. combining DDG, a solvent, and a catalyst in a reactor), wherein the catalyst s selected from the group consisting of a bromide sa t, a ydrob ie ¾ elemental br la ,. c o ami. allowing D.DO to to produce DCA y water. t I other embodiments a method of producing FDCA includes bringing DD int contact a solvent i th presence of catalyst (e,g. s combining DG, a and a catalyst n a reactor) wherein th catalyst is selected fc a the group consisting of a ahde salt, a I drohah acid, elemental on, and combinations thereof, and allowi DDG to react t produce FDCA, any byproducts, and water, | I 7| I another embodiment a method of producing FDCA includes bringing DDG into contact with acidic solvent n th presence of water, and allowing DDG, the acidic solvent, and water t react with each other produce FDCA, any bypro cts, and water. n some embodiments, a method of producing FDCA Includes bringing DDG into contact w th a carboxylic aeid and allowing DDG an the eatboxyiic acid to react with each other to produce FDCA. any byproducts, and water.
