Upgrading biogenic furans: blended C10–C12 platform chemicals via lyase-catalyzed carboligations and formation of novel C12 – choline chloride-based deep-eutectic-solvents

Abstract

Benzaldehyde lyase (BAL) results in an efficient biocatalyst for the umpolung carboligation of furfural, HMF, and mixtures of them, leading to blended C10–C12 platform chemicals. Subsequently, the mixing and gentle heating (<100 °C) of the formed hydroxy-ketone with choline chloride leads to the formation of a novel biomass-derived deep-eutectic-solvent.
