“…With growing concerns on global warming and diminishing resources of fossil fuels, much attention has been devoted to the exploration of alternatives for fossil resources to supply chemicals and energy [1][2][3]. Cellulose, which is the most abundant biomass, has been received intensive research for the production of function materials and chemicals [4][5][6].…”

“…Olefins, especially α‐olefins, are important hydrocarbons that can be obtained from a wide range of sources. For example, ethylene and propylene can be obtained from coal, biomass, methanol, and syngas . Olefins have been used as building blocks in the synthesis of high value‐added chemicals such as esters, amides, and aldehydes .…”

Quinazolinones, an important class of heterocyclic compounds, have been widely used in pharmaceuticals because of their biological activity. However, the efficient and economical synthesis of quinazolinones has remained a challenge. A novel synthetic approach has now been developed to produce quinazolinones from olefins, CO, and amines over heterogeneous Ru‐clusters/ceria catalyst in the absence of acids, bases, and oxidants. Furthermore, H2O is generated as the only by‐product. A series of quinazolinones with aromatic or non‐aromatic substituents can be obtained in yields of up to 99 %. The Ru‐clusters/ceria can be reused at least four times. The analysis of the E‐factor (environmental impact factor) for the synthesis of 2‐ethyl quinazolinone suggests that this system is more environmentally friendly than other processes reported previously.

“…Hydroiodic acid acts as a catalyst in subsequent reduction oxidation cycles, over reductive atmosphere [92]. Bio oil, produced from catalytic pyrolysis of fats, oils and other low values compounds, can also be used as a feedstock for the production of olefins, through processes that are already used in the petrochemicals' industry [94]. Syntroleum Corporation has already implemented similar processed (i.e., Bio Synfining), where vegetable oils and fats can be converted into fuels and propane [95].…”

Olefins from Biomass Intermediates: A Review

Over the last decade, increasing demand for olefins and their valuable products has prompted research on novel processes and technologies for their selective production. As olefins are predominately dependent on fossil resources, their production is limited by the finite reserves and the associated economic and environmental concerns. The need for alternative routes for olefin production is imperative in order to meet the exceedingly high demand, worldwide. Biomass is considered a promising alternative feedstock that can be converted into the valuable olefins, among other chemicals and fuels. Through processes such as fermentation, gasification, cracking and deoxygenation, biomass derivatives can be effectively converted into C 2 -C 4 olefins. This short review focuses on the conversion of biomass-derived oxygenates into the most valuable olefins, e.g., ethylene, propylene, and butadiene.
