Summary

This research program employed a mix of fundamental investigations of catalytic reactivity with targeted approaches for the catalytic synthesis of monomers and renewable polymers. We investigated the mechanisms of selective aerobic oxidation of polyols and carbohydrates with Pd catalysts with a special focus on the role of hydrogen peroxide and peroxy intermediates in an effort to increase catalyst lifetime. We also extended our studies on the selective oxidation of sugars to ketoses and the oxidative lactonization of 1,5-diols to generate new families of lactone monomers.
