PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING BIOMONOMERS AND PRECURSORS FOR SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18506340 titled 'PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING BIOMONOMERS AND PRECURSORS FOR SAME
The patent application describes processes for producing biomonomers and precursors by conducting a carboxylation reaction between an aromatic hydrocarbon, such as a furoate, and a dicarboxylated alkali salt. This reaction results in the production of a carboxylated aromatic hydrocarbon and a decarboxylated alkali salt, which can be further utilized in the production of biomonomers like furan dicarboxylate methyl ester and furan dicarboxylic acid.
- Carboxylation reaction between aromatic hydrocarbon and dicarboxylated alkali salt
- Production of carboxylated aromatic hydrocarbon and decarboxylated alkali salt

Original Abstract Submitted
Processes for producing biomonomers and precursors for producing same. A carboxylation reaction is conducted between an aromatic hydrocarbon, such as a furoate, and a dicarboxylated alkali salt. The reaction produces a carboxylated aromatic hydrocarbon and a decarboxylated alkali salt. The carboxylated aromatic hydrocarbon can be separated and used to produce biomonomers like furan dicarboxylate methyl ester and furan dicarboxylic acid. The decarboxylated alkali salt may be regenerated.
