Disaccharides as substrates and mechanistic probes for efficient carbohydrate conversion to formic acid in water near room temperature
Formate is a hydrogen carrier that can be obtained by the oxidation of carbohydrates with hydrogen peroxide under aqueous alkaline conditions near room temperature. The most relevant route among various conceivable pathways for glucose degradation has only recently been clarified. The conversion of biomass-derived
