New reaction route for bio-based adiponitrile production: Towards the rational design of the reactants and reaction pathways

Preparation of Furanyl Primary Amines from Biobased Furanyl Derivatives over Heterogeneous Catalysts

“…Proposed routes to prepare biobased hexanedinitrile from HMF. Adapted with permission from ref Copyright 2020 Science Press.…”

“…A new method for the preparation of biobased hexanedinitrile from HMF using ionic liquid hydroxylamine salts as the nitrogen source and formic acid as the hydrogen carrier was also proposed. Ding et al 164 evaluated the thermodynamic feasibility, atomic economy and intrinsic safety of the reaction by a "three-parameter evaluation system". Figure 26 depicts the feasible reaction pathway.…”

Theoretical analysis and evaluation of reaction routes by “three-parameter difference”

“…1 The “three-parameter difference” parameter has been proposed and defined by our research group based on Gibbs free energy, atom utilization and inherent safety index as the theoretical basis for evaluating the thermodynamic feasibility, greenness and safety of chemical reactions. 2 However, there is a little introduction on the use of this parameter. In this study, the synthesis pathways of dimethyl carbonate and toluene diisocyanate, covering various of phase states and types of reaction routes, were comprehensively analyzed by using this parameter, and hence the optimal reaction route was designed.…”
