However, generating these required intermediates requires high-energy reagents (such as highly reducing metals or strong organic bases), carbon–heteroatom bonds or relatively acidic carbon–hydrogen (C–H) bonds. But making FDCA from furfural and CO 2 typically requires hazardous chemicals that are expensive and energy-intensive to make.
