Efficient oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-diformylfuran using Mn(III)–salen catalysts

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural is efficiently oxidized to 2,5-diformylfuran in 63–89% yield using Mn(III)–salen catalysts and sodium hypochlorite, in a pH 11.3 phosphate buffer–CH 2Cl 2 biphase system at room temperature.
