This study presents a one-pot process to obtain sorbitans directly from glucose. Sorbitans are composed of mainly 1,4-sorbitan and are usually in a mixture with isosorbide using mineral acid. The challenge is to be highly selective in sorbitans by developing a more sustainable process. The one-pot strategy allows us to avoid extra energy cost of separation, while the replacement of mineral acid by CO 2 as a catalyst seems more sustainable due to the easy recovery. The proposed approach integrates the conversion of glucose into sorbitol via hydrogenation followed by sorbitol dehydration into sorbitans. This study focuses on experimentally investigating sorbitol dehydration to refine reaction conditions and employing molecular modeling to elucidate the catalytic role of CO 2 . The one-pot synthesis involves sequential reactions within a complex system comprising glucose, H 2 , CO 2 , and a Ru catalyst. By replacement of mineral acids with CO 2 as a catalyst, the process seems to improve sustainability, facilitated by the straightforward recovery of CO 2 . Through operando spectroscopy, the impact of CO 2 pressure on the hydrogenation reaction as well as the influence of H 2 pressure and the Ru catalyst on the dehydration reaction are meticulously examined to propose an efficient one-pot synthesis route.

“…As a platform chemical, sorbitol can be used to produce vitamin C or ascorbic acid (ASC) by fermentation 18 or isosorbide (ISB) by dehydration. 19 Sorbitol can be further hydrolyzed to low carbon number alcohols such as glycerol (GLY), propylene glycol (PG) and ethylene glycol (EG) 20,21 for replacing petroleum industry products, and can be converted into cyclic hydrocarbons for aerospace fuels by continuous isomerization aromatization. 22 Sorbitol can be used to synthesize and modify polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA) 23 that has a variety of uses such as biodegradable plastics, bio-composites and biomedicines (Fig.…”

“…Reusability and stability are crucial requirements for the practical application of heterogeneous catalysts. The primary factors of catalyst deactivation are metal leaching, sintering, coking, solid reactions and poisoning, and the deactivation mechanisms depend on reaction conditions like pressure, time of reaction, reactant nature and temperature 39‐48 . Much research has examined the reusability of various heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogenation of sugar to hexitols.…”

The increase in greenhouse gas emissions caused by increased use of fossil fuels is one of the primary causes of climate change. Catalytic hydrogenation of fructose is seen as an alternative method for addressing this issue, as it converts biomass into useful compounds via the hydrogenation reaction. Unfortunately, catalyst inactivation has restricted its industrial application. The creation of novel catalysts with the potential to raise the hydrogenation reaction's efficiency has thus attracted a lot of attention. Most literature has revealed that Ru‐based and bimetallic Cu–Ni‐based catalysts possess high catalytic activity. The type of metal, the supporting material and the reaction conditions have a considerable impact on the performance of the catalysts. An overview of fructose hydrogenation over numerous heterogeneous catalysts is the goal of this review. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).
