Conversion of glucose to methyl glycolate in subcritical methanol.
Chemical communications (Cambridge, England)(2023)
Abstract
Methyl glycolate (MG) is an important biodegradable PGA plastic monomer. Herein, a green approach to synthesize MG by methanolysis of glucose is proposed, in which the subcritical methanol and phenol/quinone redox system were combined to promote the reversible C-C cleavage and oxidation during the cascade reaction of glucose to MG.
