Cover Feature: Homogeneous Catalyzed Direct Conversion of Furfural to Gamma‐Valerolactone (ChemSusChem 11/2024)

Invited for this issue's cover is the group of Martin Nielsen at the Technical University of Denmark. The image shows the chemical components of lignocellulose and the transformation of hemicellulose to GVL via furfural. The Research Article itself is available at 10.1002/cssc.202301608. “Whereas classical approaches focus only on cellulose… for upgrading biowaste directly to GVL, our research opens up the possibility of adding hemicellulose… to the substrate pool.” This and more about the story behind the research that inspired the Cover image is presented in the Cover Profile.
