Woodn't it be nice? Pentenoic acid is a possible answer to various challenges associated with cellulose‐derived biofuels. Starting from (ligno)cellulose, enables a range of potential biofuels to become accessible. Such biofuels are compatible with today's engines and could be prepared without the need for external hydrogen.
