Summary:Here we report the successful valorisation of furfural into maleic acid (MA) and fumaric acid (FA) with a total yield above 90% using an aqueous solution of betaine hydrochloride (BHC) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. BHC can be recycled for at least 4 cycles and it can be used to directly convert xylose to MA and FA. Maleic acid (MA) and fumaric acid (FA) were produced from furfural with a total yield above 90% in the presence of an aqueous solution of betaine hydrochloride (BHC) and hydrogen peroxide. BHC can be recycled and can be used to convert xylose to MA and FA.
