Heterogeneous catalysis to drive the waste-to-pharma concept: From furanics to active pharmaceutical ingredients

A perspective on the use of heterogeneous catalysis to drive the waste-to-pharma concept is provided in this contribution based on the conversion of furanics to active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The provided overview of the concept in this perspective article has been exemplified for two key molecule examples: Ancarolol and Furosemide. © 2021 by the authors.
