The synthesis of a fully renewable diphenolic acid represents a significant step forward as a "green" alternative to bisphenol A for the production of epoxy resins and polycarbonates. This innovative process integrates levulinic acid, phenol and catalysts derived from lignocellulosic biomass, making the entire production pathway renewable and environmentally friendly. In particular, in the presence of ad-hoc char-derived acid catalysts obtained from glucose and xylose, p,p’-diphenolic acid yields of about 20 mol% were achieved, paving the way for its fully sustainable production.

Abstract
The synthesis of a fully renewable diphenolic acid represents a significant step forward as a "green" alternative to bisphenol A for the production of epoxy resins and polycarbonates. This innovative process integrates levulinic acid, phenol and catalysts derived from lignocellulosic biomass, making the entire production pathway renewable and environmentally friendly. In particular, in the presence of ad-hoc char-derived acid catalysts obtained from glucose and xylose, p,p’-diphenolic acid yields of about 20 mol% were achieved, paving the way for its fully sustainable production.File in questo prodotto:
