Sorbitol Demineralization by Ion Exchange

Edgard Gnansounou, Binod Parameswaran

Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol commonly known as D-glucitol. It is synthesized from glucose by a reduction reaction altering the aldehyde group to a hydroxyl group. The body slowly metabolizes sorbitol, minimizing the possibility of increasing the insulin lev ...

Conversion of chitin derived N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG) into polyols over transition metal catalysts and hydrogen in water

Felix Daniel Bobbink, Ning Yan, Xi Chen

N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG), the monomer of the world's second most abundant biopolymer chitin, has been for the first time converted to its corresponding amide/amino substituted sugar alcohols, smaller C2-4 polyols and N-acetylmonoethanolamine (NMEA), ov ...

Sustainability assessment of lignocellulosic biorefineries under uncertainty

Juan David Villegas Gomez

Biorefinery concepts refer to the integrated production of food, fuel, power, commodity chemicals, and polymers from biomass, mimicking the structure of a fossil-based refinery. The use of lignocellulosic biomass as feedstock for biorefineries has been pro ...

Invertible Enantioselectivity in 6'-Deoxy-6'-acylamino-beta -isocupreidine-Catalyzed Asymmetric Aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman Reaction: Key Role of Achiral Additive

Jieping Zhu

The beta -isocupreidine (beta -ICD) or beta -ICD-amide (I)-catalyzed aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction between N-sulfonylimines and alkyl vinyl ketones produced the (R)-enriched adducts, e.g. II. By adding a catalytic amt. of beta -naphthol, the enantiose ...
