Abstract
- The 2-ketoacid pathway has diverse chemistry.
- Aliphatic alcohols and carboxylic acids can be produced by decarboxylation and redox reactions.
- Bifunctional compounds such as diamines, diacids and diols can be produced from 2-ketoacids containing polar groups.
- Aromatic 2-ketoacids are key precursors to styrene, phenolic acids and polyphenols.
