High-Yield Conversion Of Cellulosic Biomass Into Furanic Biofuels And Value-Added Products

View page
US Patent:
7829732, Nov 9, 2010
Filed:
Mar 16, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/404828
Inventors:
Mark Mascal - Sacramento CA, US
Assignee:
Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
C07D 307/48
US Classification:
549483
Abstract:
Paper, cotton, corn stover, straw, and wood are converted into furanic products in high yields (based on their cellulose content) using a simple, inexpensive process involving concurrent hydrolysis, dehydration, and substitution reactions coupled with continuous extraction into an organic phase. In a simultaneous process, the hemicellulose fraction of these substrates is converted into furfural, and together these constitute an efficient means for the total exploitation of the carbohydrate content of biomass.

US Patent:
20070232521, Oct 4, 2007
Filed:
Mar 29, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/693079
Inventors:
Mark Mascal - Sacramento CA, US
Assignee:
REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA - Oakland CA
International Classification:
A61K 38/16
A61K 31/7052
A61K 31/53
C07K 14/47
C07H 19/02
C07D 487/22
US Classification:
514002000, 514246000, 514023000, 530300000, 536007400, 540455000
Abstract:
The present invention provides a compound of the formula wherein Ris an ammonium bridge. The compounds of the present invention can be linked to a biological molecule that targets a specific type of cell. The compounds of the present invention can trap isotopic fluorine so that when the biological molecule accumulates in the desired type of cell, the isotopic fluorine is imaged by positron emission tomography (PET).

Methods For Preparing Alkylfurans

View page
US Patent:
20150376153, Dec 31, 2015
Filed:
Sep 11, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/852134
Inventors:
- West Sacramento CA, US
- Oakland CA, US
Mark MASCAL - Sacramento CA, US
Assignee:
MICROMIDAS, INC. - West Sacramento CA
THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA - Oakland CA
International Classification:
C07D 307/36
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods for preparing alkylfurans, such as 2,5-dialkylfurans and 2-alkylfurans. Furfural or 5-alkylfurfural can be reacted with aniline or diaminobenzene, or derivatives thereof, to form the corresponding imine, which can be reduced to form alkylfurans and to regenerate the aniline or diaminobenzene, or derivatives thereof. The alkylfuran may be, for example, 2,5-dimethylfuran or 2-methylfuran.
