Facile Single-Step Conversion of Macroalgal Polymeric Carbohydrates into Biofuels (original) (raw)

ChemSusChem, 2010

Abstract

ABSTRACT Red macroalgae-derived agar is a renewable and sustainable resource. For the synthesis of HMF under solid Brønsted acid conditions, agar shows a unique reaction pattern and affords higher yields than land plant-based polymeric carbohydrates. Agar can be directly converted into next-generation biofuels by one-pot reactions and readily isolated by using a general workup procedure, which is crucial for a large-scale process.
