Abstract
A microbial and enzymatic process for xylitol production that initiates from D-glucose occurs by virtue of a three-step process in which D-arabitol is the first intermediate product and D-xylulose is the second. To date, the steps of the formation of D-arabitol and the conversion of xylitol from D-xylulose are key points of departure for promoting the overall process for xylitol production from D-glucose. This review provides comprehensive insights regarding potential methods of xylitol production from D-glucose, which might be an alternative to the classical process that utilizes D-xylose as substrate.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
