Acetic acid and metal triflate were found to significantly
promote the ring opening of tetrahydrofuran and the
subsequent depolymerisation of the oligomer intermediates.
Meanwhile, the substrate scope was expanded to prepare
other biomass-based medium-chain carboxylic acids. Overall,
this study demonstrates a novel and general route for the
preparation of medium-chain aliphatic carboxylic acids using
cellulose-derived platform molecules.
