【 摘 要 】

Biorefinery is pivotal to the sustainability of modern chemical industry. However, since biomass is oxygen-enriched, new and green chemical strategies are required for expanding the biomass derived chemical space. In this work, synthesis of natural products dihydrocapsaicin and dihydrocapsiate was achieved exclusively from lignocellulosic platform chemicals. Natural products dihydrocapsaicin and dihydrocapsiate were synthesized exclusively from lignocellulosic platform chemicals, using furfural (from hemicellulose) and methyl isopropyl ketone (from cellulose) through aldol condensation-hydrolysis-hydrodeoxygenation to synthesize 8-methylnonanoic acid and then combined with vanillin derivates (from lignin). This synthesis demonstrates the feasibility of constructing natural products entirely from renewable biomass platform through green processes. The utilization of inherent functional groups of biomass demonstrates their potential to open up chemical space.
