Abstract
Aldaric acids were produced by selective aerobic
oxidation of uronic acids using gold nanoparticle
catalysts. Nearly quantitative conversions and
selectivities were achieved in alkaline aqueous medium in
mild conditions. Aldaric acids represent interesting
building block chemicals for polymer, food and
pharmaceutical industries and with the new oxidation
method they can be produced from uronic acids found in
hemicelluloses.
