Periodic Reporting for period 1 - SOCUPols (Supported organocatalysts and their applications in the upgrade of bioderived polyols: desymmetrisation of glycerol to obtain building blocks for fine and pharmaceutical chemicals prod)

Natural polyols are very interesting feedstock. Their chemical upgrading aims at obtaining lower oxygenated compounds to be used as building blocks for traditional, fossil based chemical productions. On the other hand, their molecular complexity and high oxygen content can be...
