Fungi are a diverse group of organisms that play an essential role in the biosphere.
Regioisomeric acetoxyhydroxynaphthalene monoester building blocks can be synthesized using commercial lipases.
Enzymatically-catalyzed polycondensation as more environmentally friendly method for creating sustainable alternatives to traditional aromatic–aliphatic polyesters is a valuable step towards resource-efficiency optimization.
This work presents polycaprolactone (PCL) synthesis via BVMO-driven caprolactone production, followed by continuous monomer extraction and polymerization. Achieving high space–time yield, our approach offers a sustainable pathway for PCL production.
Biobased poly(ester-amide)s were synthesized from cellulose-derived levoglucosenone using mechanochemistry and enzymatic polymerization.
