Publication number: 20220064201Abstract: Disclosed is a stabilized acyclic saccharide composite, which includes a LDH-based (layered double hydroxide-based) material and acyclic saccharides intercalated in interlayer regions of the LDH-based material. The acyclic saccharides stabilized and trapped in the LDH-based material give an opportunity for direct functionalization to other valuable molecules in the pharmaceutical, chemical or carbohydrate industries. Further, a novel pathway for saccharide transformation and aldol condensation without the drawbacks associated with enzymatic catalysts is achieved through the acyclic saccharides trapped by the LDH-based material.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Po-Wen CHUNG, Chia-Hui WU, Yi-Shiuan TSAI, Chun-An HSIEH
