摘要

Biomass is an abundant and readily available feedstock that has great potential as a renewable source of chemical intermediates. 1 Whereas the preparation of useful chemicals from petroleum has historically been accomplished by adding heteroatom functionality to unfunctionalized starting materials, the conversion of biomass commonly requires the removal of oxygen atoms from the natural precursors. In this context, the deoxygenation of polyhydroxy compounds, ...
