Description

Renewable biomass (lignocellulose, triglycerides, polysaccharides, terpenes) can be, in some cases, used as a non fossil carbon source. We will introduce recent progress related to the development of biosourced products as key building blocks for high value added molecules.

1/ Biorefinery : under which conditions can we consider using biomass as a replacement for fossil ressources ? Case study of platform molecules derived from vegetable oils and lignocellulosic biomass.

2/ Use of biobased chirons (chiral synthons) or abundant biomass derived feedstock to build up complex organic molecules.

Compétences requises

Advanced organic synthesis background

Compétences visées

• Distinguish the different classes of molecules derived from biomass and apprehend the cases in which they can be used as replacement options for fossil ressources.
• Compare their availability, cost, reactivity and constraints linked to their implementation.
• Use typical reactivity of biomass derived building blocks in organic synthesis.
