• Microwaves
• Carbohydrates

The valorisation of carbohydrates arising from the hydrolysis of renewable feedstocks (i.e.. lignocellulosic biomass) is nowadays an area of utmost interest. In this context, the implementation of fast, expeditious and cost-effective methodologies for the modification of these naturally occurring compounds is becoming a prerequisite. With this aim, the application of microwaves has gained progressive attention in laboratories for making a range of high-added value sugars derivative scaffolds. The advantages of microwaves are numerous, and include enhancement of reaction rates and yields, combined with improved regio-, chemo- and anomeric selectivities.
