Bifunctional acid−base catalysts are highly desirable for industrially relevant chemical processes. Owing to their ability to activate electrophiles and nucleophiles simultaneously, they allow the ...

Bifunctional catalysis employs catalysts that possess two distinct active sites—often an acid and a base—that act in concert to activate different substrates within a single reaction. In aldol ...

The catalytic conversion of biomass into lactic acid and its derivatives has emerged as a promising route for the sustainable production of value‐added chemicals. Lactic acid, a renewable platform ...
