Resumen:
Modern organic chemistry requires easily obtainable chiral building blocks that show high chemical versatility for their application in the synthesis of enantiopure compounds. Biomass has demonstrated to be a widely available raw material which represents the only abundant source of renewable organic carbon. Through the pyrolitic conversion of cellulose or cellulose containing materials is possible to produce levoglucosenone, a highly functionalized chiral structure. This compound has been innovatively used as template for the synthesis of key intermediates of biologically active products and for the preparation of chiral auxiliaries, catalysts and organocatalysts for their application in asymmetric synthesis.
