A Direct, Biomass‐Based Synthesis of Benzoic Acid: Formic Acid‐Mediated Deoxygenation of the Glucose‐Derived Materials Quinic Acid and Shikimic Acid
Authors
Abstract
Shikimic Gimmick: An alternative biomass-based route to benzoic acid from the renewable starting materials quinic acid and shikimic acid is described. Benzoic acid is obtained selectively using a highly efficient, one-step formic acid-mediated deoxygenation method.
