Fructose conversion in the presence of Sn( iv ) catalysts exhibiting high selectivity to lactic acid

The catalytic performance of a series of Sn( iv )-based organometallic complexes in fructose conversion was studied under several reaction conditions, and the conversion, yields, and selectivity measurements of this transformation have been evaluated. The results were compared to those obtained from...

Description
Summary:The catalytic performance of a series of Sn( iv )-based organometallic complexes in fructose conversion was studied under several reaction conditions, and the conversion, yields, and selectivity measurements of this transformation have been evaluated. The results were compared to those obtained from non-catalysed reactions and those in the presence of a conventional catalyst (H 2 SO 4 ). These organometallic Sn( iv )-based catalysts demonstrated the ability to fully convert fructose into valuable chemicals. Under particular reaction conditions, lactic acid is obtained in good yields and selectivity.
