Xylochemicals and their utilisation in total synthesis and industrial applications are highlighted in this review. This class of chemicals consists of bio-based molecules or building blocks derived from renewable feedstocks like plant-biomass, lignocellulose as well as waste-streams. The advantages over petroleum-based chemicals are presented with the aid of specific examples ranging from the total synthesis of natural products, relevant industrial applications to the exploitation of CO₂ as a C₁ feedstock. This review contributes to the trend of a “greener” and a more sustainable chemistry.

木糖化学从实验室到工业规模的应用

本综述重点介绍了木糖化学及其在全合成和工业应用中的利用。这类化学物质由生物基分子或建筑材料组成，这些分子或建筑材料来自可再生原料，例如植物生物质，木质纤维素以及废物流。借助特定示例，从天然产物的总合成，相关的工业应用到将CO ₂用作C ₁原料的开发，均展示了优于石油基化学品的优势。这篇评论有助于“绿色”和可持续发展的化学趋势。
