Upgrading Renewable Phenols to Functional Benzyl Chlorides and Formamides: Versatile Building Blocks for the Chemical Industry

A reliable synthetic method based on the already known Blanc–Quelet methodology has been developed for upgrading bio-based phenols into valuable electrophilic mono-, di-, and trifunctional benzyl chlorides. These compounds show significant potential as building blocks for polymer production and the...
