Silver‐mediated reactions have recently emerged as a frontier area in organic chemistry.
Indeed, the remarkable property of silver as a single‐electron oxidant has led to its …

2, 5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is an increasingly important platform chemical that may
be produced via thermochemical, photochemical, electrochemical, or biocatalysis …

Abstract Furfural and 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are important biomass‐derived
platform chemicals that can be obtained from the dehydration of lignocellulosic sugars. A …

A metal-free iodine/NaOH-catalyzed oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes has been
developed for the practical synthesis of a wide range of carboxylic acids using water as the …

The selective transformation of lignin to value‐added biochemicals (eg, phenolic acids) in
high yields is incredibly challenging due to its structural complexity and many possible …

Salicylic acids are shown to be readily available and versatile starting materials that easily
undergo a tandem arylation–protodecarboxylation process under Pd-catalysis. The …

A silanol‐directed, palladium‐catalyzed C H carboxylation reaction of phenols to give
salicylic acids has been developed. This method features high efficiency and selectivity, and …

Herein, we present a study on the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids using three
recombinant aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs). The ALDHs were used in purified form …

A variety of sulfides and disulfides were converted into the corresponding sulfoxide
derivatives with 70% t-BuOOH (water) as the oxidant in the presence of catalytic quantity of …

An iridium-catalyzed oxidation of aldehydes to acids was realized by using air as the oxidant
and water as the solvent in the presence of base. Interestingly, the same type of catalysts …
