Bio-refinery is attracting significant interest to produce a wide range of renewable chemicals and fuels from biomass that are alternative to fossil fuel derived petrochemicals. Similar to petrochemical industries, bio-refinery also depends on solid zeolite catalysts. Acid-base catalysis plays pivotal role in producing a wide range of chemicals from biomass. Herein, the Mg framework substituted MTW zeolite is synthesized and explored in the valorisation of glucose and furfural. Bi-functional (acidic and basic) characteristics are confirmed using pyridine adsorbed FT?IR analysis and NH3 and CO2 temperature-programmed desorption techniques. Textural properties and morphological information are retrieved from N2-sorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. The activity of the catalyst is demonstrated in the selective isomerisation of glucose to fructose in ethanol. Glucose is converted to methyl lactate in high yield using the same catalyst. Further, the bi-functional activity of this catalyst is demonstrated in the production of fuel precursor by the reaction of furfural and isopropanol. Mg?MTW zeolite exhibits excellent activity in the production of all these chemicals and fuel derivative. The catalyst exhibits no significant loss in the activity even after five recycles. One simple catalyst affording three renewable synthetic intermediates from glucose and furfural will attract significant attention to catalysis researchers and industrialists.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing lactate without the corrosion of a reactor nor trouble of waste liquid processing, using glycerol separated and generated from various oil-and-fats, including glycerol by-produced in the manufacture of a biodiesel fuel.SOLUTION: In the method, the lactate is synthesized from the glycerol in the presence of a solid basic catalyst, using alcohol in a high-temperature and high-pressure state as a reaction medium.

BVMOs make a play: The dynamic kinetic resolution of racemic α-alkyl-β-ketoesters was performed through a selective Baeyer-Villiger oxidation employing different Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) in mild basic media. The product diesters were obtained with excellent yields and enantioselectivities, and used as precursors for optically active α-hydroxy esters.
