Flash-metathesis for the coupling of sustainable (poly)hydroxyl β-methylstyrenes from essential oils
TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-metathesis procedure was developed to synthetize symmetrical and non-symmetric stilbenes from sustainable resources, and the reaction proceeds under solvent-free conditions and at low catalyst loading (down to 0.01 mol%) within a couple of minutes only (TOF up to 6.9 s−1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Reductive splitting of hemicellulose with stable ruthenium-loaded USY zeolites
TL;DR: In this paper, a Ru/USY catalytic system was proposed for the conversion of arabinoxylan (AX), a common hemicellulose polymer, to pentitols like xylitol and arabitol in the presence of ruthenium-loaded HUSY zeolites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical hydrolysis of cellulose into fermentable sugars through ionic liquids and antisolvent pretreatments using heterogeneous catalysts
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of heterogeneous catalysts with sulfonic groups in the hydrolysis of cellulose was studied and it was shown that the presence of hydroxyl groups and Si-O-Si bonds at the surface of silica-based catalysts could favor the adsorption and enhance the activity of the catalysts.

Biomimetic oxygen activation and electron transfer for aerobic oxidative 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-diformylfuran
Jiajia Xu,Ting Su,Zhiguo Zhu,Naimeng Chen,Dongmei Hao,Meiri Wang,Yuchao Zhao,Wanzhong Ren,Hongying Lü +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a unique biomimetic system was developed by splitting the oxidation process into multi-step redox circulations, which can increase markedly the activity and selectivity for the aerobic oxidation 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to DFF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient Epimerization of Aldoses Using Layered Niobium Molybdates.
TL;DR: The layered mixed oxides functioned as heterogeneous catalysts and could be reused without loss of activity, whereas bulk molybdenum oxide MoO3 was completely dissolved during the reaction.
