What is the significance of the biosourced catalysts M1 and MM1 in the synthesis of moclobemide?

Label:chem

Topic
The study investigates the use of two biosourced catalysts, M1 (a homogeneous catalyst) and MM1 (a heterogeneous catalyst), derived from miscanthus biomass for the synthesis of moclobemide. The efficiency of these catalysts is compared with commercial metallic salts and their mixtures.

From: "Toward a New Way for the Valorization of Miscanthus Biomass Produced on Metal-Contaminated Soils Part 2: Miscanthus-Based Biosourced Catalyst: Design, Preparation, and Catalytic Efficiency in the Synthesis of Moclobemide", Sustainability 2021, 13(1), 34;
Answer
The biosourced catalysts M1 and MM1 significantly increase the conversion rate of moclobemide synthesis compared to reactions without catalysts. M1 achieved a conversion rate of 90%, while MM1 achieved 79%, demonstrating their high catalytic activity. Additionally, MM1 can be reused for up to five cycles, making it a sustainable and cost-effective option. The study concludes that these catalysts offer a greener and more efficient method for moclobemide synthesis.
