Methyl glycolate (MG) in the presence of methyl levulinate (MLE) was selectively converted
into magnesium glycolate via MgO-mediated hydrolysis reactions under mild conditions. The …

Biomass-derived methyl glycolate (MG) contains methyl levulinate (MLE). Herein, MLE was
separated from MG through acid-mediated hydrolysis reactions and liquid–liquid extraction …

Alkyl lactates represent such green added-value chemicals that commonly used as
biodegradable green solvents, detergents, pharmaceutical intermediates et al. Catalytic …

SrCl 2 was found to be the most efficient cocatalyst for the acidic hydrolysis of methyl
glycosides after 26 kinds of most representative metal salts were screened. The SrCl 2 …

Seeking new chemo-catalytic routes to produce glyceric acid using renewable biomass-
based sugar as feedstock is of significance but remains a big challenge due to a quite low …

Fructose is one of the most important aldoses and has been gaining attention as the starting
material for the synthesis of biobased platform and high-added value chemicals such as 5 …

Levulinic acid (LA) is considered to be one of the promising organic bio-platform chemicals
and intermediates for the synthesis of fuels, chemicals, and polymers. In the present study …

BACKGROUND: Low grade magnesium oxide (LG‐MgO) is a by‐product from the
calcination of natural magnesite that is currently hydrated to magnesium hydroxide by …

BACKGROUND Syngas to dimethyl oxalate (DMO) followed by hydrogenation to methyl
glycolate (MG) is considered to be an environmentally friendly and economical route …

The dehydration of cellulose in polar aprotic solvents produces high-value anhydro-sugars,
opening up a new avenue for the utilization of cellulose. However, there are still some …
