A process is provided for converting mevalonic acid into various useful products and derivatives. More particularly, the process comprises reacting mevalonic acid, or a solution comprising mevalonic acid, in the presence of a solid catalyst at an elevated temperature and pressure to thereby form various biobased products. The process may also comprise: (a) providing a microbial organism that expresses a biosynthetic mevalonic acid pathway; (b) growing the microbial organism in fermentation medium comprising suitable carbon substrates, whereby biobased mevalonic acid is produced; and (c) reacting the biobased mevalonic acid in the presence of a solid catalyst at an elevated temperature and pressure to yield various biobased products.
提供了一种将甲羟戊酸转化为各种有用产品和衍生物的工艺。更具体地说,该工艺包括在固体催化剂存在下,在高温高压下使甲羟戊酸或包含甲羟戊酸的溶液发生反应,从而形成各种生物基产品。该工艺还可包括:(a) 提供表达生物合成甲羟戊酸途径的微生物有机体;(b) 在包含适当碳底物的发酵培养基中培养微生物有机体,从而产生生物基甲羟戊酸;(c) 在固体催化剂存在下,在高温高压下反应生物基甲羟戊酸,生成各种生物基产品。
