“…Conventionally, succinic acid is produced from maleic acid using Pd/C heterogeneous metal catalysts [211]. Other methods reported for succinic acid production are: oxidation of 1,4-butanediol with nitric acid [212]; the carbonylation of ethylene glycol, acetylene, and dioxane [213]; hydrogenation of fumaric acid in the presence of Ru catalyst [214]; and the condensation of acetonitrile to produce butanedinitrile, which can be subsequently hydrolyzed to Figure 11. Sugar alcohols from cellulose and hemicelluloses [185,186,195,198].…”

The production of chemicals from biomass, a renewable feedstock, is highly desirable in replacing petrochemicals to make biorefineries more economical. The best approach to compete with fossil-based refineries is the upgradation of biomass in integrated biorefineries. The integrated biorefineries employed various biomass feedstocks and conversion technologies to produce biofuels and bio-based chemicals. Bio-based chemicals can help to replace a large fraction of industrial chemicals and materials from fossil resources. Biomass-derived chemicals, such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), levulinic acid, furfurals, sugar alcohols, lactic acid, succinic acid, and phenols, are considered platform chemicals. These platform chemicals can be further used for the production of a variety of important chemicals on an industrial scale. However, current industrial production relies on relatively old and inefficient strategies and low production yields, which have decreased their competitiveness with fossil-based alternatives. The aim of the presented review is to provide a survey of past and current strategies used to achieve a sustainable conversion of biomass to platform chemicals. This review provides an overview of the chemicals obtained, based on the major components of lignocellulosic biomass, sugars, and lignin. First, important platform chemicals derived from the catalytic conversion of biomass were outlined. Later, the targeted chemicals that can be potentially manufactured from the starting or platform materials were discussed in detail. Despite significant advances, however, low yields, complex multistep synthesis processes, difficulties in purification, high costs, and the deactivation of catalysts are still hurdles for large-scale competitive biorefineries. These challenges could be overcome by single-step catalytic conversions using highly efficient and selective catalysts and exploring purification and separation technologies.

A novel approach for the conversion of biomass-based hemicellulose prehydrolysate to high-value succinic acid has been investigated using a heterogeneous acid catalyst, Amberlyst 15 and hydrogen peroxide, in a biphasic system. A vital intermediate in this process, furfural, was oxidized in the biphasic system to produce succinic acid. Production of furfural in good yields is a limiting step in such processes for a number of reasons. Among the organic solvents evaluated, toluene was found to be an ideal solvent for furfural extraction and to facilitate the conversion of furfural to succinic acid. Simultaneous extraction of furfural into the organic solvent as it was produced increased the overall yield. It was observed that the developed method resulted in a succinic acid yield of 52.34% from the furfural obtained from hemicellulose prehydrolysate. It was found that 50 mg of Amberlyst 15 per millimole of furfural resulted in 100% furfural conversion in less time.
