Diformylxylose as a new polar aprotic solvent produced from renewable biomass

Jeremy Luterbacher, Anastasiia Komarova, Graham Reid Dick

Lignin is a promising candidate for the replacement of fossil-based materials, due to its natural abundance and aromatic structure. This same structure poses major challenges to lignin's exploitation for material development. The harsh conditions generally ...

Guidelines for performing lignin-first biorefining

Jeremy Luterbacher, Feng Wang

The valorisation of the plant biopolymer lignin is now recognised as essential to enabling the economic viability of the lignocellulosic biorefining industry. In this context, the "lignin-first" biorefining approach, in which lignin valorisation is conside ...

Stabilization strategies in biomass depolymerization using chemical functionalization

Jeremy Luterbacher, Ydna Marie Questell-Santiago

A central feature of most lignocellulosic-biomass-valorization strategies is the depolymerization of all its three major constituents: cellulose and hemicellulose to simple sugars, and lignin to phenolic monomers. However, reactive intermediates, generally ...

Catalytic Upgrading of Biomass-Derived Carboxylic Acids to Fuels and Chemicals

Jher Hau Yeap

Our reliance on fossil fuels, which is unsustainable due to dwindling reserves, has led to various environmental issues. Lignocellulosic biomass could serve as a renewable source of carbon and energy for the production of fuels and chemicals. While several ...

Enantioselective Ruthenium(II)-Catalyzed Access to Benzonorcaradienes by Coupling of Oxabenzonorbornadienes and Alkynes

Nicolai Cramer, Shouguo Wang, Sung Hwan Park

Benzonorcaradienes and benzonorcarenes are attractive scaffolds that occur in natural products as well as biologically active compounds. However, there is a significant gap in the current synthetic toolbox as methods to access benzonorcaradiene enantiosele ...

Molecular engineering of enamine-based small organic compounds as hole-transporting materials for perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Michael Saliba, Sanghyun Paek, Kyung Taek Cho

The search for new classes of hole transporting materials (HTMs) is a very important task on the way towards commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this work, the synthesis and performance in PSCs of new enamine-based HTMs are presented. Th ...

Diester-Substituted Aminocyclopropanes: Synthesis and Use in [3+2]-Annulation Reactions

Jérôme Waser, Florian Patrick Marie Daniel De la Barre De Nanteuil, Eloísa Sofía Serrano Robledo

In this Letter, we describe the synthesis of new donor-acceptor substituted cyclopropanes bearing various imido groups and their use in [3+2]-annulation reactions. A sequence of palladium-catalyzed vinylation and rhodium-catalyzed cyclopropanation gave acc ...
