Catalysis for Biomass Conversion

Recent examples of the use of a very old synthetic method are discussed. Discovery of the cation-catalyzed epimerization explains some of the previously controversial results. The mechanism of the reaction is discussed. Suggestions are made for improvements in yield and in the method of work-up.
