Dwindling fossil resources and their associated environmental concerns have increased interest in biobased products. In particular, many approaches to convert lignocellulosic biomass into small-molecule building blocks are being explored via thermal, chemi ...

Producing high-performance materials from renewable carbon at high efficiency and ensuring a sustainable end-of-life scenario can notably reduce the CO2 footprint of the plastics industry. A recent example of such a material is poly(butylene xylosediglyoxy ...

To address the rising demand for plastics, it is essential to create new types of polymers that are both highly recyclable and emit minimal amounts of greenhouse gases. These plastics should be derived from readily available, renewable feedstocks. Such eff ...

Method for preparing an acetal-protected sugar involving the step of reacting a diol group of a sugar selected from the group consisting of an aldopentose and an aldohexose with one or two compounds of formula (Ia) and/or (Ib) in the presence of a homogeno ...

Described is a compound having the structure (I), (II) or (V), Formulae(I), (II), (V), wherein R1 is -H, -CH2OH or -CH(OH)CH2OH; R2 is -H, -OH, or -CH2OH; R3 is -H, -OH, or -CH2OH; n is 0 or 1; p is 0 or 1; R10 is hydrogen or a hydrocarbon moiety with 1 to ...

The present invention relates to a method for preparing an at least partially acetal-protected sugar involving the step of reacting a sugar or a sugar derivative selected from the group consisting of an aldopentose, an aldohexose, an aldopentoside and an a ...

Realistically replacing petroleum-based plastics will require efficient routes to performance polymers using scalable processes from abundantly available lignocellulosic biomass. We surveyed academic and patent literature for processes in the latest stages ...

Recent works have established bio-based carboxylic acids as adaptable precursors to renewable biofuels and chemicals. However, the separation of carboxylic acids is a major energy and cost driver, accounting for 20-40% of the entire processing cost. Improv ...
