Abstract:N‐Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are molecules with exceptional catalytic properties in a wide range of reactions. Recently, there has been a growing interest in using them as catalysts for biomass conversion. In this review, we examine the current state of glycerol valorisation (GV) using several catalytic systems, including metallic complexes bearing NHCs as ligands, polymeric building blocks and organocatalysts. The study covers literature published in the last 15 years, detailing the catalyst scope, reaction… Show more
