One-pot chemoenzymatic synthesis of glycolic acid from formaldehyde

Glycolic acid is an important building block of biodegradable polymers. Herein, we report an efficient selective and atom-economical approach for the synthesis of glycolic acid based on a catalytic C-C coupling reaction of the inexpensive C1 compound formaldehyde followed by selective oxidation. The...
