Biomass-originated levulinic acid was directly converted to optically active (<italic>S</italic>)-gamma-valerolactone, a proposed biomass-based chiral platform molecule.
Fructose and fatty acid methyl esters are the basis for preparation of a novel class surfactants.
This work covers the development of a bio-based molecular motor in an overall yield 10% when accessed through lignin content beech sawdust. Its unidirectional, continuous motion at room temperature is key for potential applications.
Fermentation of sugars to the so-called ABE mixture delivers a three component shorter chain oxygenates: acetone, n-butanol and ethanol. In order convert these into liquid transportation fuels that are analogous currently used fossil energy carriers, novel catalytic elongation methods involving C-C bond formation desired. Herein we report on simple, non-noble-metal-based method for highly selective coupling 1-butanol acetone high molecular weight (C7-C11) ketones, as well mixtures (C5-C11)...
