Markedly Improved Catalytic Dehydration of Sorbitol to Isosorbide by Sol–Gel Sulfated Zirconia: A Quantitative Structure–Reactivity Study Open
Isosorbide, a bicyclic C6 diol, has considerable value as a precursor for the production of bio-derived polymers. Current production of isosorbide from sorbitol utilizes homogeneous acid, commonly H2SO4, creating harmful waste and complica…
