摘要

Abstract

With increasing strict regulation on single-use plastics

lactic acid (LA) and alkyl lactates

as essential monomers for bio-degradable polylactic acid (PLA) plastic products

have gained worldwide attention in both academia and industry. While LA is still dominantly produced through fermentation processes from start

chemical synthesis from cellulosic biomass remains a grand challenge

owing to poor selectivity in activating C-H and C-C bonds in sugar molecules. To our best knowledge

recent publications have been focused on hydrothermal conversion of glucose to LA

while this review summarizes the highlights on direct thermal conversion of fructose as starting material to LA and derivatives. In particular

the synergies of metal/metal cations and acid/base catalysts will be critically revised on retro-aldol and dehydration reactions. This work will provide insights into rational design of active and selective catalysts for the production of carboxylic acids from biomass feedstocks.
