A series of hafnyl phosphates HfO (PO 4) x (x= 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0) were prepared by
coprecipitation of HfCl 4 with KH 2 PO 4, which were explored for efficient production of HMF …

Furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural are promising platform molecules for manufacturing
chemicals and fuel components. These furanic compounds are the product of the acid …

The utilization of biomass, a bountiful and renewable natural resource, has become
increasingly important with respect to climate change and environmental regulation. The …

Covering: up to mid-2019 This review highlights the utilization of biomass-derived building
blocks in the total synthesis of natural products. An overview over several renewable …
