Emerging catalytic processes for the production of adipic acid

摘要: Research efforts to find more sustainable pathways for the synthesis of adipic acid have led introduction new catalytic processes producing this commodity chemical from alternative resources. With a focus on performance oxygen and hydrogen peroxide as preferred oxidants, minireview summarizes recent advances made in selective oxidation cyclohexene, cyclohexane, cyclohexanone n-hexane acid. Special attention is paid exploration involving lignocellulosic biomass-derived chemicals such 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, D-glucose, γ-valerolactone compounds representative lignin lignin-derived bio-oils.
