The hydrodeoxygenation of erythritol, xylitol, and sorbitol was investigated over a Pt-WOx/SiO2 (4 wt% Pt, W/Pt = 0.25, molar ratio) catalyst. 1,4-Butanediol can be selectively produced with 51% yield (carbon based) by erythritol hydrodeoxygenation at 413 K, based on the selectivity over this catalyst toward the regioselective removal of the C-O bond in the -O-C-CH2OH structure. Because the catalyst is also active in the hydrodeoxygenation of other polyols to some extent but much less active in that of mono-alcohols, at higher temperature (453 K), mono-alcohols can be produced from sugar alcohols. A good total yield (59%) of pentanols can be obtained from xylitol, which is mainly converted to C2 + C3 products in the literature hydrogenolysis systems. It can be applied to the hydrodeoxygenation of other sugar alcohols to mono-alcohols with high yields as well, such as erythritol to butanols (74%) and sorbitol to hexanols (59%) with very small amounts of C-C bond cleavage products. The active site is suggested to be the Pt-WOx interfacial site, which is supported by the reaction and characterization results (TEM and XAFS). WOx/SiO2 selectively catalyzed the dehydration of xylitol to 1,4-anhydroxylitol, whereas Pt-WOx/SiO2 promoted the transformation of xylitol to pentanols with 1,3,5-pentanetriol as the main intermediate. Pre-calcination of the reused catalyst at 573 K is important to prevent coke formation and to improve the reusability.

The large pool of naturally occurring carbohydrates with their diversity in chirality and structure led to the idea of a systematic investigation of carbohydrate based ILs. To this end, we investigated the influence of different ether groups, mainly methyl or ethyl ether, on the secondary OH groups as well as different configurations on physical properties such as melting point, thermostability and especially the influence on cell toxicity. For this investigation we chose α- and β-methyl-, β-allyl- and β-phenyl d-glucopyranose as well as four 1-deoxy-pentoses. In order to be able to classify the results, more ionic liquids with different structural motives were examined for cytotoxicity. Here, we present data that confirm the biocompatibility of such ILs consisting of naturally occurring molecules or their derivatives. The synthesized carbohydrate based ILs were tested for their suitability as additives in coatings for medical applications such as drug-eluting balloons.

Carbohydrate biomass represents a potentially valuable sustainable source of raw materials for chemical synthesis, but for many applications, selective deoxygenation/dehydration of the sugars present is necessary to access compounds with useful chemical and physical properties. Selective dehydration of pentose sugars to give tetrahydrofurans can be achieved by treatment of the corresponding N,N-dimethylhydrazones under acidic or basic conditions, with the two approaches showing complementary stereoselectivity. The dehydration process is readily scalable and the THF hydrazones derived from arabinose, ribose, xylose and rhamnose were converted into a range of useful fragments containing primary alcohol, ketone, carboxylic acid or amine functional groups. These compounds have potentially useful physiochemical properties making them suitable for incorporation into fragment/lead generation libraries for medicinal chemistry. It was also shown that l-arabinose hydrazone could be obtained selectively from a crude sample of hydrolysed sugar beet pulp.

The feedstocks from biomass are defined and limited by nature, but through the choice of catalyst, one may change the deoxygenation outcome. We report divergent but selective deoxygenation of sugars with triethylsilane (TESH) and two fluoroarylborane catalysts, B(C6F5)3 and B(3,5-CF3)2C6H3)3 (BAr3,5-CF3). To illustrate, persilylated 2-deoxyglucose shows exocyclic C-O bond cleavage/reduction with the less sterically congested BAr3,5-CF3, whereas endocyclic C-O bond cleavage/reduction predominates with the more Lewis acidic B(C6F5)3. Chiral furans and linear polyols can be selectively synthesized depending on the catalysts. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that the resting states of these catalysts are different.

The intramolecular dehydration of biomass-derived sugar alcohols d-sorbitol, d-mannitol, galactitol, xylitol, ribitol, l-arabitol, erythritol, l-threitol, and dl-threitol was investigated in high-temperature water at 523-573 K without the addition of any acid catalysts. d-Sorbitol and d-mannitol were dehydrated into isosorbide and isomannide, respectively, as dianhydrohexitol products. Galactitol was dehydrated into anhydrogalactitols; however, the anhydrogalactitols could not be dehydrated into dianhydrogalactitol products because of the orientation of the hydroxyl groups at the C-3 and C-6 positions. Pentitols such as xylitol, ribitol, and l-arabitol were dehydrated into anhydropentitols. The dehydration rates of the pentitols containing hydroxyl groups in the trans form, which remained as hydroxyl groups in the product tetrahydrofuran, were larger than those containing hydroxyl groups in the cis form because of the structural hindrance caused by the hydroxyl groups in the cis form during the dehydration process. In the case of the tetritols, the dehydration of erythritol was slower than that of threitol, which could also be explained by the structural hindrance of the hydroxyl groups. The dehydration of l-threitol was faster than that of dl-threitol, which implies that molecular clusters were formed by hydrogen bonding between the sugar alcohols in water, which could be an important factor that affects the dehydration process.

The aqueous-phase hydrogenolysis of xylitol into glycols over Ru/C was performed in the presence and absence of a wide range of concentrations of Ca(OH)2 to investigate the reaction pathway. Without base, epimerization and cascade decarbonylation were the predominant reactions with high selectivities to C5 and C4 alditols and light alkanes at full conversion. Glycol production was obtained by the addition of Ca(OH)2 to promote the retro-aldol reaction. It competed with reactions without base and became the main reaction for a OH?/ xylitol molar ratio Rmol(OH/xylitol) of 0.13, and high selectivities to glycols (56 %) and glycerol (16 %) were observed. However, lactate was a byproduct at up to 27 % with a high base amount (Rmol(OH/xylitol)=0.68). Bifunctional Ru/metal oxide/C catalysts (metal: Zn, Sn, Mn, Sr, W) were synthesized and were able to cleave the C?C bond into glycols without a base promoter. The 3.1 wt %Ru/MnO(4.5 %)/C catalyst was the most active (220 h?1) with reasonable selectivity to glycols (22 %) and glycerol (10 %) and a low production of lactate (1 %). Nevertheless, metal oxide leaching of the catalyst was observed likely because of the production of traces of lactate.

A series of novel xylitan derivatives derived from xylitol were synthesized using operationally simple procedures. A xylitan acetonide was the key intermediate used to prepare benzoate, arylsulfonate esters and 1,2,3-Triazole derivatives of xylitan. These compounds were evaluated for their in vitro anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity against trypomastigote and amastigote forms of the parasite in T. cruzi-infected cell lineages. Benznidazole was used as positive control against T. cruzi and cytotoxicity was determined in mammalian L929 cells. The arylsulfonate xylitan derivative bearing a nitro group displayed the best activity of all the compounds tested, and was slightly more potent than the reference drug benznidazole. The importance of the isopropylidene ketal moiety was established and the greater lipophilicity of these compounds suggests enhancement in cell penetration.

L-Arabinose is an abundant resource available as a waste product of the sugar beet industry. Through use of a hydrazone-based strategy, L-arabinose was selectively dehydrated to form a chiral tetrahydrofuran on a multi-gram scale without the need for protecting groups. This approach was extended to other biomass-derived reducing sugars and the mechanism of the key cyclization investigated. This methodology was applied to the synthesis of a range of functionalized chiral tetrahydrofurans, as well as a formal synthesis of 3R-3-hydroxymuscarine.
