Conversion of Xylose into D-Xylitol using Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation with Formic Acid as H-Donor

d-Xylitol, a biomass-derived sweetener, is increasingly used in cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. The raw material for d-xylitol production, d-xylose, is easily accessible from dissolving pulp production. d-xylitol production involves the heterogeneously catalyzed hydrogenation of d-xylose; thi...
