The synthesis of new type furan-based compounds other than 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from glucose is a very attractive yet underexploited strategy. We report here a catalytic conversion of glucose with acetylacetone (acac)...

ABSTRACTOxidation catalysis is a reaction necessary for the production of plastics and other materials that seem now essential to our everyday lives. Unfortunately, most oxidation processes suffer from poor selectivity or yields, creating unwanted byproducts and waste. In nature, oxidative enzymes like methane monooxygenase and the family of cytochromes provide a more selective method for oxidation of organic compounds. Of particular interest is the low temperature, selective oxidation of cellulosic biomass for the production of biofuels or other useful replacements for materials currently derived from petroleum feedstocks. An enzymatic approach could replace the high temperature pyrolysis technology in use today. A series of inorganic mimics of some oxidative enzymes, using transition metal – amino acid complexes encapsulated in large pore zeolites have been synthesized and examined as oxidation catalysts under benign conditions. Several of these demonstrate turnovers comparable to native enzymes in the reaction of model compounds for the oxidation of lignin and cellulose.

In recent years, research activities involved in the production of nanocellulosic materials have grown substantially, rapidly stimulating the development of innovative production techniques. These materials are chemically extracted by acid-catalyzed Hydrolysis of the renewable and widely available cellulosic biomass. In this regard, sulfuric acid-catalyzed Hydrolysis of cellulosic biomass is a commonly known method for the production of nanostructured cellulose. However, this method may result in many disadvantages, including short catalyst-lifetime, corrosive to the reactor materials and managing the spent sulfuric acid resulted from the production process. This dictates the implementation of an eco-industrial alternative for the catalytic production of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). A viable and practical alternative is the application of heterogeneous (solid acids) catalysts, which can be more conducive in providing favorable platforms for efficient cellulose hydrolysis. This review highlights the current production methods of nanocrystalline cellulose. Further, recent literature on the heterogeneous-catalytic conversion of cellulosic biomass is briefly discussed. The limitations and disadvantages of these techniques are also described.
