The development of a system for the operationally simple, scalable conversion of polyhydroxylated biomass into industrially relevant feedstock chemicals is described. This system includes a bimetallic Pd/Re catalyst in combination with hydrogen gas as a terminal reductant and enables the high-yielding reduction of sugar acids. This procedure has been applied to the synthesis of adipate esters, precursors for the production of Nylon-6,6, in excellent yield from biomass-derived sources.
描述了一种操作简单、可扩展的将多羟基生物质转化为工业相关原料化学品的系统的开发。该系统包括双金属 Pd/Re 催化剂与氢气作为终端还原剂相结合，能够高效地还原糖酸。该方法已应用于己二酸酯的合成，己二酸酯是生产尼龙-6,6 的前体，从生物质来源获得了优异的产率。
