1. Biotransformations of Turpentine Constituents : Oxygenation and Esterification
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes methods to obtain valueaddedcompounds from TMP-turpentine obtained from the spruce, Piceaabies. The methodology focuses on biotransformations using twoapproaches: an oxygenation approach (i.e. oxygenation ofterpene hydrocarbons by cell cultures) and an esterificationapproach (i. LÄS MER
2. C1 Building Blocks: New Approaches for Thiomethylations and Esterification
Sammanfattning : The thioether motif is found in numerous pharmaceuticals. The simplest form of this motif, the methyl-thioether is similarly found in many biologically active compounds and has exhibited many advantageous properties. The installation of the thiomethyl moiety can be troublesome due to the toxicity and malodor of small sulfur reagents. LÄS MER
3. Hepatic lipase and dolichol esterification
Sammanfattning : Dolichol is one of the mevalonate pathway end products, present in all tissues and cellular membranes. The lipid is a primary alcohol consisting of 16-23 isoprenoid residues and occurs as a free alcohol, monophosphate or fatty acyl ester. LÄS MER
4. Cellulose processing in ionic liquid based solvents
Sammanfattning : As the most abundant polymer in nature, cellulose has an undisputed role among the raw materials to be used in a sustainable future. From its native form, in wood or straw, cellulose can be processed into products such as paper and board. LÄS MER
5. Microwave-assisted transformations of lignin for value-added material applications
Sammanfattning : The chemical diversity and structural complexity of lignin, an abundant biopolymer found in vascular plants, present a multitude of opportunities for the modification and fine-tuning of its properties to suit downstream demands. In this thesis, microwave-assisted strategies were explored as efficient and environment-friendly pathways for lignin valorization towards value-added material applications. LÄS MER
