Abstract
Adherence to the principles of green chemistry in a biorefinery setting ensures energy efficiency, reduces the consumption of materials, simplifies reactor design, and rationalizes the process parameters for synthesizing affordable organic chemicals of desired functional efficacy and ingrained sustainability. The green chemistry metrics facilitate assessing the relative merits and demerits of alternative synthetic pathways for the targeted product(s). This work elaborates on how green chemistry has emerged as a transformative framework and inspired innovations toward the catalytic conversion of biomass-derived carbohydrates into fuels, chemicals, and synthetic polymers. Specific discussions have been incorporated on the judicious selection of feedstock, reaction parameters, reagents (stoichiometric or catalytic), and other synthetic auxiliaries to obtain the targeted product(s) in desired selectivity and yield. The prospects of a carbohydrate-centric biorefinery have been emphasized and research avenues have been proposed to eliminate the remaining roadblocks. The analyses presented in this review will steer to developing superior synthetic strategies and processes for envisaging a sustainable bioeconomy centered on biomass-derived carbohydrates.

Gundekari S, Karmee SK. Catalytic Conversion of Levulinic Acid into 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran: A Review. Molecules 2024; 29:242. [PMID: 38202825 PMCID: PMC10780552 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29010242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Biomass-derived furanics play a pivotal role in chemical industries, with 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF), a hydrogenated product of levulinic acid (LA), being particularly significant. 2-MTHF finds valuable applications in the fuel, polymer, and chemical sectors, serving as a key component in P-series biofuel and acknowledged as a renewable solvent for various chemical processes. Numerous research groups have explored catalytic systems to efficiently and selectively convert LA to 2-MTHF, using diverse metal-supported catalysts in different solvents under batch or continuous process conditions. This comprehensive review delves into the impact of metal-supported catalysts, encompassing co-metals and co-catalysts, on the synthesis of 2-MTHF from LA. The article also elucidates the influence of different reaction parameters, such as temperature, type and quantity of hydrogen source, and time. Furthermore, the review provides insights into reaction mechanisms for all documented catalytic systems.

Gong L, Xiu Y, Dong J, Han R, Xu G, Ni Y. Sustainable one-pot chemo-enzymatic synthesis of chiral furan amino acid from biomass via magnetic solid acid and threonine aldolase. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2021; 337:125344.

Abstract
Sustainable synthesis of valuable noncanonical amino acids from renewable feedstocks is of great importance. Here, a feasible chemo-enzymatic procedure was developed for the synthesis of chiral β-(2-furyl)serine from biomass catalyzed by a solid acid catalyst and immobilized E. coli whole-cell harboring l-threonine aldolase. A novel magnetic solid acid catalyst Fe3O4@MCM-41/SO42- was successfully synthesized for conversion of corncob into furfural in an aqueous system. Under the optimum conditions, furfural yield of 63.6% was achieved in 40 min at 180 ℃ with 2.0% catalyst (w/w). Furthermore, biomass-derived furfural was converted into an aldol-addition product β-(2-furyl)serine with 73.6% yield, 99% ee and 20% de by immobilized cells in 6 h. The magnetic solid acid and biocatalyst can be readily recovered and efficiently reused for five consecutive cycles without significant loss on product yields. This chemo-enzymatic route can be attractive for producing noncanonical amino acids from biomass.
