Bioconversion of pentose sugars to value added chemicals and fuels: Recent trends, challenges and possibilities

Edgard Gnansounou

Most of the crop plants contain about 30% of hemicelluloses comprising D-xylose and D-arabinose. One of the major limitation for the use of pentose sugars is that high purity grade D-xylose and D-arabinose are yet to be produced as commodity chemicals. Res ...

Total asymmetric synthesis of glycomimetics and polypropionates of biological interest

Pierre Vogel

Using readily available chiral auxiliaries such as (+)- and (-)-camphanic acid, (R,R)- and (S,S)-tartaric acid derivatives (e.g. RADO(R)-COCl, SADO(R)-COCl) efficient diastereoselective syntheses of rare sugars and glycomimetics have been developed. They e ...
