Abstract

Biomass is a readily available and renewable carbon source for the production of biobased chemicals and fuels. This justifies the growing interest in both industry and academia in developing efficient catalytic conversion routes of lignocellulosic biomass to platform chemicals.[1–8] Lactic acid is considered a promising biobased platform molecule from which a wide range of useful chemical intermediates can be produced.[9–11] Its best ...
