Highly selective transformation of poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid] into trans-crotonic acid by catalytic thermal degradation.
Highly selective transformation of poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid] (PHB) into trans-crotonic acid was achieved by thermal degradation using Mg compounds: MgO and Mg(OH)2 as catalysts. Through catalytic action, not only the temperature and Ea value of degradation were lowered by 40–50 °C and 11–14 kJ...
