The upgrading of biomass-derived compounds has arisen in recent years as a very promising research field in both academia and industry. In this sense, a lot of new processes and products have been developed, often involving levulinic acid as a starting material or intermediate. In the last few years, though, other scaffolds have been receiving growing attention, especially, angelica lactones. Considering these facts and the emergent applications of said molecules, in this review we will discuss their preparation and applications; the use of these frameworks as starting materials in organic synthesis to produce potential bioactive compounds will be covered, as will their use as a foundation to highly regarded compounds such as liquid alkanes with prospective use as fuels and polymers.
近年来，生物量衍生化合物的升级作为学术界和工业界非常有前途的研究领域出现了。在这方面，已经开发出了许多新工艺和新产品，通常涉及到作为起始原料或中间体的乙酰丙酸。然而，在过去几年中，其他骨架越来越受到关注，特别是当归内酯。考虑到这些事实和这些分子的新兴应用，在这篇综述中，我们将讨论它们的制备和应用；将涵盖这些骨架作为有机合成起始原料来生产潜在生物活性化合物的用途，以及将它们作为基础用于高价值化合物的用途，例如具有作为燃料和聚合物的潜在用途的液体烷烃。
