Abstract

Abstract: In the last decade, shell biorefinery, a novel concept referring to the extraction of the main components of crustacean shells and the transformation of each component into valuable products, was proposed and has attracted increasing attentions. Chitin is one of main components of crustacean shells. Owing to the bio-fixed nitrogen element, chitin biomass has been regarded as a good candidate to produce nitrogen-containing chemicals. Among these, 3-acetamido-5-acetylfuran (3A5AF) is an interesting furanic compound derived from the hydrolysis and sequential dehydration of chitin. Similar to cellulose-derived platform chemical 5-hydromethylfurfural (HMF), 3A5AF is an emerging platform compound and also can be converted into various useful chemicals by oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, substitution, and so on. This review showcases the recent advances in the synthesis of 3A5AF from chitin and N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) employing various catalytic systems. The conversion of 3A5AF into valuable compounds was introduced then. There are still some challenges in this area, for example, the rational design of green and efficient catalytic systems for the synthesis of 3A5AF and its derivatives. The outlooks also were discussed at the end of the review.
