Article Synopsis
- The production of platform chemicals like diformylxylose (DFX) from biomass needs efficient and sustainable methods, which this study addresses.
- Three one-pot synthesis routes using d-xylose or corncobs achieved around 80% yields and were effectively scaled from lab to a 15 L batch reactor.
- The methods are economically competitive with fossil and biobased alternatives and demonstrate positive environmental impacts, with DFX being biodegradable at the end of its life cycle.
