A four-step methodology for the valorization of polysaccharide-based materials into bifunctional heterogenous catalysts, active in the conversion of CO2 and epoxides into cyclic carbonates, is presented. The synthesis protocol consists...
Chemoenzymatic oxidations involving the CAL-B/H2O2 system was developed in a sugar derived Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent (NaDES) composed by a mixture of glucose, fructose and sucrose. Good to excellent conversions of substrates like cyclooctene, limonene, oleic acid and stilbene to their corresponding epoxides, cyclohexanone to its corresponding lactone and 2phenylacetophenone to its corresponding ester, demonstrate the viability of the sugar NaDES as a reaction medium for epoxidation and Baeyer-Villiger oxidation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
