We describe the optimization and scale-up of two consecutive reaction steps in synthesis bio-derived alkoxybutenolide monomers that have been reported as potential replacements for acrylate-based coatings ( Sci. Adv. 2020, 6, eabe0026). These are synthesized by (i) oxidation furfural with photogenerated singlet oxygen followed (ii) thermal condensation desired 5-hydroxyfuranone intermediate product an alcohol, a step which until now has involved lengthy batch reaction. The successfully...
Biomass-derived butenolides are presented as green alternatives for acrylates in coatings with tunable properties.
Petrochemical based polymers, paints and coatings are cornerstones of modern industry but our future sustainable society demands greener processes renewable feedstock materials. A challenge is to access platform monomers from biomass resources while integrating the principles green chemistry in their chemical synthesis. We present a synthesis route starting biomass-derived furfural towards commonly used maleic anhydride acrylic acid, implementing environmentally benign photooxygenation,...
A complete biobased process towards polymers and coatings using starting materials derived from renewable resources implementing sustainable synthetic steps.
Butenolides are a class of 5-membered lactones that hold great potential as bio-based monomers to replace oil-derived acrylates, which they cyclic analogues. Despite this structural resemblance, the reactivity unsaturated ester moiety electron-poor butenolides leans toward maleic anhydride, another essential monomer does not homopolymerize but copolymerizes in highly alternating fashion with polarized electron-rich comonomers. By studying 5-methoxy and 5-acyloxy through combination kinetics...

Due to the highly selective nature of singlet oxygen as an oxidant, it has received considerable interest in various areas (organic) chemistry. Two green light activated hydrazone-based boron difluoride triplet photosensitizers possessing high quantum yields for 1O2 formation are reported. These photostable complexes promising applications synthesis and catalysis.
