For years, fossil fuels have been the predominant feedstock for the production of chemicals,
resulting in their overexploitation and widespread environmental degradation, prompting a …

The complexity and recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass seriously hinder its subsequent
conversion to liquid fuels. To achieve high-value utilization of lignocellulosic biomass, the …

In industries and academic laboratories, several late transition metal-catalyzed prerequisite
reactions are widely performed during single and multistep synthesis. However, besides the …

Furan energy platform compounds including furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), can
be produced by hydrothermal conversion of biomass. After hydrodeoxygenation, these …

Furfural is a promising renewable platform compound derived from lignocellulosic biomass
that can be further converted to biofuels and biochemicals. The highly functionalized …

Transformation of biomass to chemicals and fuels is a long-term goal in both science and
industry. However, high cost is one of the major obstacles to the industrialization of this …

The present review “Iron Catalysis in Organic Synthesis” covers the literature until the end of
June 2014 and represents a comprehensive update of a previous article published by Bolm …

Biobased production of furfural has been known for decades. Nevertheless, bioeconomy
and circular economy concepts is much more recent and has motivated a regain of interest …

Methyl‐tetrahydrofuran (2‐MeTHF) can be derived from renewable resources (eg, furfural or
levulinic acid) and is a promising alternative solvent in the search for environmentally …

Furfural is a natural precursor to furan‐based chemicals and has the potential to become a
major renewable platform chemical for the production of biochemicals and biofuels …
