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.
Olefination and hydroxymethylation of aldehydes using Knochel's (dialkoxyboryl)methylcopper reagents

The in-situ preparation of [(Me2C)2O2BCH2]Cu(CN)ZnI (3) from Knochel's (dialkoxyboryl)-methylzinc reagent (2) and CuCN·2LiCl in THF, followed by its addition to aldehyde in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate yielded rather stable β-hydroxyalkylboronates (5). The thermal dehydroxyboronation or the alkaline hydrogen peroxide oxidation of 5 gave the corresponding alkenes (6) or 1,2-alkanediols (7) in high yields. The reaction provides a simple procedure for the olefination or the hydroxymethylation of aldehydes.
RADIATION-INDUCED REDUCTION OF AROMATIC CARBOXYLIC ESTERS IN ALCOHOLIC SOLUTIONS
Sugimori, Akira,Yashima, Toshihiro
, p. 483 - 486 (2007/10/02)
Gamma-irradiation of aromatic carboxylic esters in alcoholic solutions brings about the reduction of the ester group to aldehyde, alcohol, α-ketoalcohol, and 1,2-glycol.The reduction is effected by solvated electrons and solvent-derived hydroxyalkyl radicals.
