Sustainable valorisation of renewables through dialkyl carbonates and isopropenyl esters
Giulia Fiorani, Alvise Perosa, Maurizio Selva
Abstract
This review showcases the most recent application of commercially relevant linear and alkylene organic carbonates and a representative enol ester, isopropenyl acetate (iPAc), for the chemical upgrading of renewable-based compounds and biopolymers.
