Tin-catalyzed conversion of biomass-derived triose sugar and formaldehyde to α-hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The direct conversion of biomass-derived 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and formaldehyde to α-hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone (HBL) was achieved through the use of tin(iv) chloride and a small amount of water and the yield reached up to 70%. The reaction mechanism was also investigated by incorporating d2-formaldehyde into the reaction mixtures.

A platform pathway for production of 3-hydroxyacids provides a biosynthetic route to 3-hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone.
The replacement of petroleum feedstocks with biomass to produce platform chemicals requires the development of appropriate conversion technologies. 3-Hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone has been identified as one such chemical; however, there are no naturally occurring biosynthetic pathways for this molecule or its hydrolyzed form, 3,4-dihydroxybutyric acid. Here we design a novel pathway to produce variou...
متن کاملOne‐pot inimer promoted ROCP synthesis of branched copolyesters using α‐hydroxy‐γ‐butyrolactone as the branching reagent
An array of branched poly(ɛ-caprolactone)s was successfully synthesized using an one-pot inimer promoted ring-opening multibranching copolymerization (ROCP) reaction. The biorenewable, commercially available yet unexploited comonomer and initiator 2-hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone was chosen as the inimer to extend the use of 5-membered lactones to branched structures and simultaneously avoiding the ty...
متن کاملDeoxygenation of biomass-derived feedstocks: oxorhenium-catalyzed deoxydehydration of sugars and sugar alcohols.
The conversion of renewable cellulosic biomass into fuels and chemicals has attracted increased attention with the growing demand for sustainability. However, one fundamental challenge is that saccharides, the major component of cellulosic biomass, are highly oxygen-rich when compared with the majority of current commodity chemicals and fuels. The polyol structure also generally presents poor s...
متن کاملCatalytic cycloaddition of 2-hydroxy ketones with 1,1-dicyanoalkenes.
A tin-catalyzed reaction of α-hydroxy ketones with 1,1-dicyanoalkenes produced 2-amino-4,5-dihydrofuran-3-nitriles. In the catalytic reaction, tin enolates were generated from α-hydroxy ketones as active catalytic species. The highly basic ability of the Sn-O bonds played an important role in the reactions. This tin-catalyzed reaction was highly atom-economical and required no other metal reage...
متن کاملFace selective reduction of the exocyclic double bond in isatin derived spirocyclic lactones.
We report an unusual face selective reduction of the exocyclic double bond in the α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone motif of spiro-oxindole systems. The spiro-oxindoles were assembled by an indium metal mediated Barbier-type reaction followed by an acid catalyzed lactonization.
