Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) plastics is of great significance to the sustainable
development of the world. Today, most PLA is prepared by ring-opening polymerization of …

Catalytic dehydrogenation of alcohols represents an attractive approach for future
applications as hydrogen storage systems and clean synthesis of fine chemicals. Herein, an …

Thermosets are widely used for their excellent properties, but their permanent cross-linking
makes them difficult to recycle. Covalent adaptive networks can address the recycling of …

α-Hydroxy acids have attracted broad attention because of their prevalence in bioactive
molecules and biodegradable polymers, but their conventional syntheses are usually …

The direct utilization of simple and abundant feedstocks in carbon‐carbon bond‐forming
reactions to embellish sp3‐enriched chemical space is highly desirable. Herein, we report a …

Herein, we report a straightforward synthesis of valuable α‐hydroxycarboxylic acid
molecules via an acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of ethylene glycol and primary …

The acceptorless dehydrogenation of diverse aromatic and aliphatic primary alcohols to
corresponding carboxylic acids has been accomplished by self-supported NHC-Ru single …

Chemical upcycling of end-of-life poly (lactide) plastics to lactide, lactate ester and new poly
(lactide) has been achieved by using magnesium bis [bis (trimethylsilyl) amide][Mg (HMDS) …

Biomass is the most abundant and renewable carbon resource with great potential to
replace traditional fossil fuels in the production of high-value organic acids, which can be …

A strategically distinct dehydroxylative alkylation reaction of α‐hydroxy carboxylic acid
derivatives with alkenes is developed. The reaction starts with the attack of a 4 …
