Biomimetic Conversion of Glucose to Organic Acid Facilitated by Metalloporphyrin under Mild Conditions

Biomimetic catalytic conversion of carbohydrates to low-molecular weight (LWM) organic acids was investigated in the presence of sulfonated metalloporphyrins (MTSPP, M = Fe, Mn, Co, Cu), with dioxygen as the oxidant. The results showed that the selectivity of lactic acid reached 70%, starting from g...
