Description
Summary:A methodology for the production of 1,3‐butadiene 1, the key monomer for synthetic rubber is reported here from erythritol 2. Erythritol is obtained from the fermentation of xylose by osmotolerant yeasts like Yarrowia lipolytica. Xylose was found to be a superior source of carbon yielding up to five fold higher titer values of erythritol as compared to that of glucose. Erythritol, the key intermediate, was then converted to 1,3‐butadiene through tetramesyl erythritol derivative 5 in significant yields. A methodology for the production of 1,3‐butadiene, the key monomer for synthetic rubber from erythritol is reported here. Erythritol was obtained from the fermentation of xylose and was converted chemically to 1,3‐butadiene.
