The present invention relates to a process for making the esters of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, and particularly the dimethyl, diethyl or dipropyl esters of FDCA for use as monomers in the production of polyesters and other types of polymers with biobased content, comprising: reacting an aqueous feed comprising glucaric acid with a high boiling first alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst and with removing water during the reaction, to form a first product mixture comprising a first ester of FDCA and the high boiling first alcohol; removing unreacted high boiling first alcohol from the first product mixture; combining the first ester of FDCA and the high boiling first alcohol with a lower boiling second alcohol selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and n-propanol; transesterifying the first ester with the lower boiling second alcohol to form a second product mixture comprising a second ester of FDCA with the lower boiling second alcohol; and recovering the second ester of FDCA with the lower boiling second alcohol.
本发明涉及一种制备2,5-呋喃二甲酸酯的方法,特别是制备用作聚酯和其他含生物基成分的聚合物单体的二甲基、二乙基或二丙基呋喃二甲酸酯的方法,包括:在酸催化剂存在下,将含有葡萄糖酸的水性原料与高沸点第一醇反应,并在反应过程中去除水,以形成含有第一呋喃二甲酸酯和高沸点第一醇的第一产物混合物;从第一产物混合物中去除未反应的高沸点第一醇;将第一呋喃二甲酸酯和高沸点第一醇与从甲醇、乙醇、异丙醇和正丙醇组成的低沸点第二醇混合;将第一呋喃二甲酸酯与低沸点第二醇进行酯交换反应,以形成含有第二呋喃二甲酸酯和低沸点第二醇的第二产物混合物;并回收含有第二呋喃二甲酸酯和低沸点第二醇的产物。
