Abstract
Efficient utilization of Brønsted acids has been advanced through the synthesis of a novel pyridinium propyl sulfonic acid ionic liquid catalyst, [PSna][HSO4]. Employing niacin and 1,3-propanesulfonic lactone, the synthesis aimed to achieve a catalyst that combines atom-efficiency with stability. Optimal catalytic activity was demonstrated at a temperature of 110 °C over a 2 h reaction time, resulting in a furfuryl alcohol conversion and ethyl levulinate yield of 97.79% and 96.10%, respectively. Notably, the extraction and recovery of [PSna][HSO4] exhibited commendable repeatability with up to five cycles, maintaining furfuryl alcohol conversion and ethyl levulinate yield at 93.74% and 88.17%, which highlights the catalyst's durability. Density flooding theory (DFT) calculations were employed to determine the most probable reaction pathways and identify all possible transition states and the reaction energy barriers overcome at each step of the reaction.

Abstract
The development and implementation of sustainable catalytic technologies is key to delivering our net-zero targets. Here we review how engineered enzymes, with a focus on those developed using directed evolution, can be deployed to improve the sustainability of numerous processes and help to conserve our environment. Efficient and robust biocatalysts have been engineered to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and have been embedded into new efficient metabolic CO2 fixation pathways. Enzymes have been refined for bioremediation, enhancing their ability to degrade toxic and harmful pollutants. Biocatalytic recycling is gaining momentum, with engineered cutinases and PETases developed for the depolymerization of the abundant plastic, polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Finally, biocatalytic approaches for accessing petroleum-based feedstocks and chemicals are expanding, using optimized enzymes to convert plant biomass into biofuels or other high value products. Through these examples, we hope to illustrate how enzyme engineering and biocatalysis can contribute to the development of cleaner and more efficient chemical industry.

An Overview of Heterogeneous Catalysts Based on Hypercrosslinked Polystyrene for the Synthesis and Transformation of Platform Chemicals Derived from Biomass. Molecules 2023; 28:8126. [PMID: 38138614 PMCID: PMC10745566 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28248126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Platform chemicals, also known as chemical building blocks, are substances that serve as starting materials for the synthesis of various value-added products, which find a wide range of applications. These chemicals are the key ingredients for many fine and specialty chemicals. Most of the transformations of platform chemicals are catalytic processes, which should meet the requirements of sustainable chemistry: to be not toxic for humans, to be safe for the environment, and to allow multiple reuses of catalytic materials. This paper presents an overview of a new class of heterogeneous catalysts based on nanoparticles of catalytically active metals stabilized by a polymer matrix of hypercrosslinked polystyrene (HPS). This polymeric support is characterized by hierarchical porosity (including meso- and macropores along with micropores), which is important both for the formation of metal nanoparticles and for efficient mass transfer of reactants. The influence of key parameters such as the morphology of nanoparticles (bimetallic versus monometallic) and the presence of functional groups in the polymer matrix on the catalytic properties is considered. Emphasis is placed on the use of this class of heterogeneous catalysts for the conversion of plant polysaccharides into polyols (sorbitol, mannitol, and glycols), hydrogenation of levulinic acid, furfural, oxidation of disaccharides, and some other reactions that might be useful for large-scale industrial processes that aim to be sustainable. Some challenges related to the use of HPS-based catalysts are addressed and multiple perspectives are discussed.

Spectrophotometric Assay for the Detection of 2,5-Diformylfuran and Its Validation through Laccase-Mediated Oxidation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16861.

Abstract
Modern biocatalysis requires fast, sensitive, and efficient high-throughput screening methods to screen enzyme libraries in order to seek out novel biocatalysts or enhanced variants for the production of chemicals. For instance, the synthesis of bio-based furan compounds like 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) via aerobic oxidation is a crucial process in industrial chemistry. Laccases, known for their mild operating conditions, independence from cofactors, and versatility with various substrates, thanks to the use of chemical mediators, are appealing candidates for catalyzing HMF oxidation. Herein, Schiff-based polymers based on the coupling of DFF and 1,4-phenylenediamine (PPD) have been used in the set-up of a novel colorimetric assay for detecting the presence of DFF in different reaction mixtures. This method may be employed for the fast screening of enzymes (Z' values ranging from 0.68 to 0.72). The sensitivity of the method has been proved, and detection (8.4 μM) and quantification (25.5 μM) limits have been calculated. Notably, the assay displayed selectivity for DFF and enabled the measurement of kinetics in DFF production from HMF using three distinct laccase-mediator systems.

Abstract
In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the conversion of biomass into renewable chemicals, yet the range of value-added products that can be formed from biomass remains relatively small. Herein, we demonstrate that molecules available from biomass serve as viable starting materials for the synthesis of phosphine ligands, which can be used in homogeneous catalysis. Specifically, we prepared renewable analogues of Beller's ligand (di(1-adamantyl)-n-butylphosphine, cataCXium® A), which is widely used in homogeneous catalysis. Our new renewable phosphine ligands facilitate Pd-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura, Stille, and Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reactions with high yields, and our catalytic results can be rationalized based on the stereoelectronic properties of the ligands. The new phosphine ligands generate catalytic systems that can be applied for the late-stage functionalization of commercial drugs.

Abstract
The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into platform chemicals and fuels by metal single atoms is a new domain in solid catalysis research. Unlike the conventional catalysis route, single-atom catalysts (SACs) proliferate maximum utilization efficiency, high catalytic activity, and good selectivity to the desired product with an ultralow loading of the active sites. More strikingly, SACs show a unique cost-effective pathway for the conversion of complex sugar molecules to value-added chemicals in high yield and selectivity, which may be hindered by conventional metal nanoparticles. Primarily, SACs having adjustable active sites could be easily modified using sophisticated synthetic techniques based on their intended reactions. This review covers current research on the use of SACs with a strong emphasis on the fundamentals of catalyst design, and their distinctive activities in each type of reaction (hydrogenation, hydrogenolysis, hydrodeoxygenation, oxidation, and dehydrogenation). Furthermore, the fundamental insights into the superior actions of SACs within the opportunity and prospects for the industrial-scale synthesis of value-added products from the lignocelluloses are covered.

Abstract
The C3-functionalization of furfural using homogeneous ruthenium catalysts requires the preinstallation of an ortho-directing imine group, as well as high temperatures, which did not allow scaling up, at least under batch conditions. In order to design a safer process, we set out to develop a continuous flow process specifically for the C3-alkylation of furfural (Murai reaction). The transposition of a batch process to a continuous flow process is often costly in terms of time and reagents. Therefore, we chose to proceed in two steps: the reaction conditions were first optimized using a laboratory-built pulsed-flow system to save reagents. The optimized conditions in this pulsed-flow mode were then successfully transferred to a continuous flow reactor. In addition, the versatility of this continuous flow device allowed both steps of the reaction to be carried out, namely the formation of the imine directing group and the C3-functionalization with some vinylsilanes and norbonene.

Abstract
Reducing sugar generation from lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is closely linked with biomass characteristics, pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis conditions. In this study curated experimental data from literature was used to develop multivariate regression and artificial neural network (ANN) model considering nine predictors (i.e., cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin content, cellulose-lignin ratio, acid concentration, temperature, time, pretreatment severity, and enzyme concentration). Selected reduced polynomial model (R2: 0.891, Adj. R2: 0.849) suggests positive influence of acid and enzyme, while negative influence of treatment severity, temperature and time on reducing sugar generation. Genetic algorithm-optimized ANN model offered excellent fitness for LCB hydrolysis on training (R2: 0.997), validation (R2: 0.984), and test sets (R2: 0.967). Sensitivity analysis of the ANN predictors suggests lignin and to some extent hemicellulose contents can be inhibitory. Though polynomial models can have simple interpretation, use of optimized ANN offers better predictability in dataset with diverse biomass compositions.

Abstract
Catalytic, chemoselective, and asymmetric α-functionalizations of carboxylic acids promise up-grading simple feedstock materials to value-added functional molecules, as well as late-stage structural diversifications of multifunctional molecules, such as drugs and their leads. In this personal account, we describe boron-catalyzed α-functionalizations of carboxylic acids developed in our group (five reaction types). The reversible boron carboxylate formation is key to the acidification of the α-protons and enolization using mild organic bases, allowing for chemoselective and asymmetric bond formations of carboxylic acids. The ligand effects on reactivity and stereoselectivity, substrate scopes, and mechanistic insights are summarized.

Abstract
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) represents a well-known class of lignocellulosic biomass-derived platform molecules. With the presence of many reactive functional groups in the structure, this versatile building block could be valorized into many value-added products. Among well-established catalytic transformations in biorefinery, the reductive amination is of particular interest to provide valuable N-containing compounds. Specifically, the reductive amination of 5-HMF with ammonia (NH3 ) and molecular hydrogen (H2 ) offers a straightforward and sustainable access to primary furanic amines [i. e., 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfuryl amine (HMFA) and 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan (BAMF)], which display far-reaching utilities in pharmaceutical, chemical, and polymer industries. In the presence of heterogeneous catalysts contanining monometals (Ni, Co, Ru, Pd, Pt, and Rh) or bimetals (Ni-Cu and Ni-Mn), this elegant pathway enables a high-yielding and chemoselective production of HMFA/BAMF compared to other synthetic routes. This Review aims to present an up-to-date highlight on the supported metal-catalyzed reductive amination of 5-HMF with elaborate studies on the role of metal, solid support, and reaction parameters. Besides, the recyclability/adaptability of catalysts as well as the reaction mechanism are also provided to give valuable insights into this potential 5-HMF valorization strategy.

Abstract
Numerous attempts have been made to produce new materials and technology for renewable energy and environmental improvements in response to global sustainable solutions stemming from fast industrial expansion and population growth. Zeolites are a group of crystalline materials having molecularly ordered micropore arrangements. Over the past few years, progress in zeolites has been observed in transforming biomass and waste into fuels. To ensure effective transition of fossil energy carriers into chemicals and fuels, zeolite catalysts play a key role; however, their function in biomass usage is more obscure. Herein, the effectiveness of zeolites has been discussed in the context of biomass transformation into valuable products. Established zeolites emphasise conversion of lignocellulosic materials into green fuels. Lewis acidic zeolites employ transition of carbohydrates into significant chemical production. Zeolites utilise several procedures, such as catalytic pyrolysis, hydrothermal liquefaction, and hydro-pyrolysis, to convert biomass and lignocelluloses. Zeolites exhibit distinctive features and encounter significant obstacles, such as mesoporosity, pore interconnectivity, and stability of zeolites in the liquid phase. In order to complete these transformations successfully, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the chemistry of zeolites. Hence, further examination of the technical difficulties associated with catalytic transformation in zeolites will be required. This review article highlights the reaction pathways for biomass conversion using zeolites, their challenges, and their potential utilisation. Future recommendations for zeolite-based biomass conversion are also presented.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:3870.

Abstract
Levulinic esters, synthesized by the esterification of biomass-derived levulinic acid with various alcohols, is an important chemical that plays an essential role in the fields of biomass fuel additives, organic synthesis, and high value-added products. In the present work, the catalytic esterification of levulinic acid with n-butyl alcohol was selected as a typical model reaction to investigate the catalytic performance of an inexpensive commercial catalyst, titanium oxide nanoparticles. The influences of reaction time, reaction temperature, and catalyst loading on the conversion of levulinic acid to n-butyl levulinate were systematically examined through single-factor experiments. Additionally, the optimization of the reaction conditions was further investigated by a Box-Behnken design in response to the surface methodology. The desired product, n-butyl levulinate, with a good yield (77.6%) was achieved under the optimal conditions (reaction time of 8 h, reaction temperature of 120 °C, and catalyst dosage of 8.6 wt.%) when using titanium oxide nanoparticles as catalysts. Furthermore, it was found that addition of water to the catalytic system facilitated the reaction process, to some extent. This study reveals that the nanosized TiO2 material, as an efficient solid acid catalyst, had good catalytic performance and stability for the esterification of levulinic acid after six consecutive uses.

Abstract
Photocatalysis provides a prospective approach for achieving high-value products under mild conditions. To realize this, constructing a selective, low-cost and environmentally friendly photocatalyst is the most critical factor. In this study, BiOBr/Zn@SnO2 is fabricated by a one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method and BiOBr: SnO2 ratio is 3:1; this material is applied as photocatalyst in fructose selective conversion to lactic acid. The bandgap structure can be regulated via two-step modification, which includes Zn doping SnO2 and Zn@SnO2 coupling BiOBr. The photocatalyst shows excellent conversion efficiency in fructose and high selectivity in lactic acid generation under alkaline conditions. The conversion rate is almost 100%, and the lactic acid yield is 79.6% under optimal reaction conditions. The catalyst is highly sustainable in reusability; the lactic acid yield can reach 67.4% after five runs. The possible reaction mechanism is also proposed to disclose the photocatalysis processes.

Abstract
The development of more sustainable and eco-friendly polymers has attracted much attention from researchers over the past decades. Among the different strategies that can be implemented towards this goal, the substitution of the toxic reagents/monomers often used in polyurethane chemistry has stimulated much innovation leading to the development of the hydroxylated version of PURs, namely, the poly(hydroxyurethane)s (PHURs). However, some PHURs remain far from being sustainable as their synthesis may involve monomers and/or solvents displaying poor environmental impacts. Herein, we report on the use of more sustainable conditions to synthesize the biobased polycarbonates involved in the aminolysis reaction. In addition, we demonstrate that the use of renewable deep eutectic solvents (DESs) can act both as excellent solvents and organocatalysts to promote the aminolysis reaction.

Abstract
Olefin production from polyols via deoxydehydration (DODH) was carried out over Ag-modified CeO2 -supported heterogeneous Re catalysts with H2 as a reducing agent. Both high DODH activity and low hydrogenation ability for C=C bonds were observed in the reaction of erythritol, giving a 1,3-butadiene yield of up to 90 % under "solvent-free" conditions. This catalyst is applicable to other substrates such as methyl glycosides (methyl α-fucopyranoside: 91 % yield of DODH product; methyl β-ribofuranoside: 88 % yield), which were difficult to be converted to the DODH products over the DODH catalysts reported previously. ReOx -Ag/CeO2 was reused 3 times without a decrease of activity or selectivity after calcination as regeneration. Although the transmission electron microscopy energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray absorption fine structure analyses showed that Re species were highly dispersed and Ag was present as metal particles with various sizes from well-dispersed species (<1 nm) to around 5 nm particles, the catalysts prepared from size-controlled Ag nanoparticles showed similar performance, indicating that the catalytic performance is insensitive to the Ag particle size.

Abstract
5-Ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) has been identified as a potential biofuel and fuel additive, for which the production from glucose (the most abundant and inexpensive monosaccharide) in a one-step process would be highly desirable. Here, the synthesis of sulfonic acid-functionalized porous coordination polymers (PCPs) and their application as catalysts for EMF synthesis are reported. PCP(Cr)-BA (PCP material with Cr3+ ions and H2BDC-SO3H linkers) and PCP(Cr)-NA (PCP material with Cr3+ ions and H2NDC(SO3H)2 linkers) materials containing both Cr3+ sites and Brønsted-acidic –SO3H sites were prepared. The morphology, pore structure, acidity, chemical composition, and thermal stability of the two functionalized PCP(Cr) catalysts were analyzed by systematic characterization. The catalysts featured a porous morphology and dual Cr3+ and –SO3H sites, which enabled the cascade conversion of glucose to EMF. PCP(Cr)-BA exhibited higher performance than PCP(Cr)-NA with an EMF yield of 23.1% in the conversion of glucose at 140 °C after 22 h in an ethanol/water system. In addition, the as-prepared catalyst exhibited a high stability in the current catalytic system for EMF production from glucose with a constant catalytic activity in a four-run recycling test without an intermediate regeneration step. The PCP(Cr)-BA catalysts featured porous morphology and dual Cr3+ and –SO3H sites, which enabled the cascade conversion of glucose to EMF. In addition, the as-prepared catalyst exhibited a high stability in the current catalytic system.![]()

Abstract
1,1'-Carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) provides a platform to generate high molecular weight polyurethanes from industrially relevant diols and diamines. CDI, which is described in the literature for its use in amidation and functionalization reactions, enables the production of well-defined and stable polyurethane precursors, thus eliminating the need for isocyanates. Herein, the functionalization of 1,4-butanediol with CDI yields an electrophilic biscarbamate, bis-carbonylimidazolide (BCI), which is suitable for further step-growth polymerization in the presence of amines. Elevated reaction temperatures enable the solvent-, catalyst-, and isocyanate-free polycondensation reaction between the BCI monomer and various diamines. The thermoplastic polyurethanes produced from this reaction demonstrate high thermal stability, tunable glass transition temperatures based on incorporation of flexible polyether segments, and mechanically ductile thin films. CDI functionalized diols will allow the preparation of diverse polyurethanes without the use of isocyanate-containing monomers.

Abstract
Bisphenol A is an oil-derived, large market volume chemical with a wide spectrum of applications in plastics, adhesives and thermal papers. However, bisphenol A is not considered safe due to its endocrine disrupting properties and reproductive toxicity. Several functional substitutes of bisphenol A have been proposed in the literature, produced from plant biomass. Unless otherwise specified, the present review covers the most significant contributions that appeared in the time span January 2015-August 2019, describing the sustainable catalytic synthesis of rigid diols from biomass derivatives. The focus is thereupon on heterogeneous catalysis, use of green solvents and mild conditions, cascade processes in one-pot, and continuous flow setups. More than 500 up-to-date references describe the various substitutes proposed and the catalytic methods for their manufacture, broken down according to the main biomass types from which they originate.

Abstract
The effect of oxidative and reductive delignification processes on the hydrolysis of pine sawdust at mild conditions (200-1000 ppm of HCl and 140-220 °C) is studied in this work. Dimers and reduced sugars are the main products obtained with the fresh sawdust (>82%), reaching a maximum liquid phase yield of 17% after 8 h, at the strongest conditions. This conversion increases up to almost 40% with the pretreated sawdust, obtaining selectivities higher than 87% of levulinic acid and a well-defined distribution of the relevant platform molecules (sugars, HMF, furfural, levulinic acid) as function of the severity of the reaction, decreasing the humins formation and being possible to define different conditions to maximize each yield. These conclusions were corroborated by the kinetic analysis, obtaining a clear decrease in the energy activation for all the individual steps involved in this process.

[PMID: 33084243 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202002357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2020] [Revised: 10/20/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Partial hydrogenolysis of erythritol, which can be produced at large scale by fermentation, to 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BuD) is investigated with Ir-ReOx /SiO2 and Ir-ReOx /rutile-TiO2 catalysts. In addition to the higher conversion rate over Ir-ReOx /TiO2 than over Ir-ReOx /SiO2 , which has been also reported for glycerol hydrogenolysis, Ir-ReOx /TiO2 showed higher selectivity to 1,4-BuD than Ir-ReOx /SiO2 , especially at low conversion levels, leading to high 1,4-BuD productivity of 20 mmol1,4-BuD gIr -1 h-1 at 373 K (36 % conversion, 33 % selectivity). The productivity based on the noble metal amount is higher than those reported previously, although the maximum yield of 1,4-BuD (23 %) is not higher than the highest reported values. The reactions of various triols, diols and mono-ols are tested and the selectivity and the reaction rates are compared between catalysts and between substrates. The Ir-ReOx /TiO2 catalyst showed about twofold higher activity than Ir-ReOx /SiO2 in hydrogenolysis of the C-OH bond at the 2- or 3-positions in 1,2- and 1,3-diols, respectively, whereas the hydrogenolysis of C-OH at the 1-position is less promoted by the TiO2 support. Lowering the loading amount of Ir on TiO2 (from 4 wt % to 2 or 1 wt %) decreases the Ir-based activity and 1,4-BuD selectivity. Similarly, increasing the loading amount on SiO2 from 4 wt % to 20 wt % increases the Ir-based activity and 1,4-BuD selectivity, although they remain lower than those for TiO2 -supported catalyst with 4 wt % Ir. High metal loadings on the support seem to be important.

Abstract
The installation of vicinal mesylate and silyl ether groups in a quinic acid derivative generates a system prone for stereoselective borane-catalyzed hydrosilylation through a siloxonium intermediate. The diversification of the reaction conditions allowed the construction of different defunctionalized fragments foreseen as useful synthetic fragments. The selectivity of the hydrosilylation was rationalized on the basis of deuteration experiments and computational studies.

Abstract
In the pursuit of establishing a sustainable biobased economy, valorization of lignocellulosic biomass is increasing its value as a feedstock. Nevertheless, to achieve the integrated biorefinery paradigm, the selective fractionation of its complex matrix to its single constituents must be complete. This review presents and examines the novel catalytic pathways to form furfuryl alcohol (FuOH) from xylose in a one-pot system. This production concept takes on chemical, thermochemical and biochemical transformations or a combination of them. Still, the bulk of the research is targeted to develop heterogeneous catalytic systems to synthesize FuOH from furfural and xylose. The present review includes an overview of the economic aspects to produce this platform chemical in an industrial manner. In the last section of this review, an outlook and summary of catalytic processes to produce FuOH are highlighted.

Abstract
Polymers are ubiquitously present in our daily life because they can meet a wide range of needs and fields of applications. This success, based on an irresponsible linear consumption of plastics and the access to cheap oil, is creating serious environmental problems. Two lines of actions are needed to cope with them: to adopt a circular consumption of plastics and to produce renewable carbon-neutral monomers. This review analyses the recent advances in the chemocatalytic processes for producing biomass-derived carboxylic acids. These renewable carboxylic acids are involved in the synthesis of relevant general purpose and specialty polyesters and polyamides; some of them are currently derived from oil, while others can become surrogates of petrochemical polymers due to their excellent performance properties. Polyesters and polyamides are very suitable to be depolymerised to other valuable chemicals or to their constituent monomers, what facilitates the circular reutilisation of these monomers. Different types of carboxylic acids have been included in this review: monocarboxylic acids (like glycolic, lactic, hydroxypropanoic, methyl vinyl glycolic, methyl-4-methoxy-2-hydroxybutanoic, 2,5-dihydroxypent-3-enoic, 2,5,6-trihydroxyhex-3-enoic acids, diphenolic, acrylic and δ-amino levulinic acids), dicarboxylic acids (2,5-furandicarboxylic, maleic, succinic, adipic and terephthalic acids) and sugar acids (like gluconic and glucaric acids). The review evaluates the technology status and the advantages and drawbacks of each route in terms of feedstock, reaction pathways, catalysts and economic and environmental evaluation. The prospects and the new research that should be undertaken to overcome the main problems threatening their economic viability or the weaknesses that prevent their commercial implementation have also been underlined.
