內容簡介
Among Green Chemistry principles, one is to encourage the use renewable resources in place of fossil ones. With respect to synthetic chemistry, this means using biomass-derived materials as starting points for the design of chemical products and intermediates. In the lecture, we will make a focus on recent examples on the use of carbohydrate-based platform molecules, notably 5-HMF, and how its chemical sensitivity can be overcome. Applications cover either novel surfactants or nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds.
