Biobased Chemicals: 1,2,4-Benzenetriol, Selective Deuteration and Dimerization to Bifunctional Aromatic Compounds
{{output}}
1,2,4-Benzenetriol (BTO), sourced from the carbohydrate-derived platform chemical 5-hydroxylmethylfurfural (HMF), is an interesting starting point for the synthesis of various biobased aromatic products. However, BTO readily undergoes dimerization and other re... ...
