Catalytic valorization of biobased phenols and isohexides through amination and oxidation KU Leuven
Aromatic and aliphatic (di)amines are unambiguous industrial precursors for polymers, active pharmaceutical ingredients, dyes and agrochemicals; produced in enormous amounts each year. As a result, chemical processes towards these molecules have a non-negligible impact on the environment. Classic procedures rely almost solely on the exploitation of (preactivated) finite fossil feedstocks. Moreover, some of these processes display significant ...
