The book describes the valorization of biomass-derived compounds
over gold catalysts. Since biomass is a rich renewable feedstock
for diverse platform molecules, including those currently derived
from petroleum, the interest in various transformation routes has
become intense. Catalytic conversion of biomass is one of the main
approaches to improving the economic viability of biorefineries. In
addition, Gold catalysts were found to have outstanding activity
and selectivity in many key reactions. This book collects
information about transformations of the most promising and
important compounds derived from cellulose, hemicelluloses, and
woody biomass extractives. Since gold catalysts possess high
stability under oxidative conditions, selective oxidation reactions
were discussed more thoroughly than other critical reactions such
as partial hydrogenation, acetalization, and isomerization. The
influence of reaction conditions, the role of the catalyst, and the
advantages and disadvantages of using gold are presented for all of
the reactions mentioned above. This book provides an overview of
the recent research results focusing on application of gold
catalysts for synthesis of valuable chemicals using renewable
feedstocks.
