The selective production of C4 bulk chemicals from biomass is significant to replace the traditional method from petroleum resource. In this work, the succinic anhydride (SAN) is directly prepared from bio-based furanic platform compounds utilizing the visible light-induced oxygenation process, in which -tetraphenyl porphyrin (HTPP) and molecular oxygen was employed as the photocatalyst and terminal oxidant, respectively. Under optimal conditions, a 99.9% conversion with 97.8% selectivity of SAN was obtained from furoic acid (FAC) at room temperature. Moreover, the transformation of furfural and furfuryl alcohol with this system can also generate SAN, and the product selectivity is controllable by tuning light intensity and time. Furthermore, the EPR detection, isotope labeling, and control experiments exhibited that the generation of singlet oxygen plays a crucial role and 5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone is the main intermediate during the reaction. Finally, a possible reaction mechanism for the production of SAN from furanic compound is proposed.

Poly(lactic) (PLA) is a biodegradable material obtained from renewable resources and is recognized as a safe biopolymer by the Food and Drug Administration. PLA expresses excellent mechanical and moldability attributes nonetheless poor elasticity/functionality limits its widespread utilization. One approach to compensate for this is chemical surface modification through free radical grafting with small organic molecules like maleic anhydride (MA).

Intermetallic RNiSi (R = Ca, La, and Y) Catalysts with Electron-Rich Ni Sites for Continuous Flow Selective Hydrogenation of Maleic Anhydride.

The industrial advancement of downstream products resulting from the directed hydrogenation of maleic anhydride is hindered by the limitations related to the activity and stability of catalysts. The development of nonprecious metal intermetallic compounds, in which active sites are adjustable in the local structures and electronic properties embedded within a distinct framework, holds immense potential in enhancing catalytic efficacy and stability. Herein, we report that nickel-based silicides catalysts, RNiSi (R = Ca, La, and Y), afford high efficiency in the selective hydrogenation of maleic anhydride.

In this study, oil-in-water (O/W) high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) with enhanced antioxidative properties stabilized by octenyl succinic anhydride modified starch (OSAS)/(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) mixtures were prepared. The influence of EGCG concentration (0-0.2 %, w/v), NaCl concentration (0-400 mmol/L), and temperature (25-90 °C) on the stability of the HIPEs was evaluated.

Combining polymer and surfactant in one agent namely polymeric surfactants with both high viscosity and surface activity has become a viable alternative for the traditional enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes. With the purpose of developing new polymeric surfactants, the biopolymer flooding agent sphingan WL gum was modified by octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) through the esterification reaction. The effects of molecular weight (MW) of WL and the OSA: WL ratio on the properties of the products were investigated.

Protein-polysaccharide complex carrier can solve the problem of insufficient stability of Monascus pigments (MPs), a kind of natural pigments, against heat and light. It also has the function to stabilize Pickering emulsion (PE) that can be used as fat replacer in meat products. In this study, heat denatured whey protein (HWP) and pectin modified by octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA-pectin) were prepared into complex by adding Ca loaded with MPs.
