Mechanochemical approaches enable the efficient synthesis of a variety of chemicals. Hirokazu Kobayashi, Atsushi Fukuoka et al. report in their Research Article (e202214229) that an activated carbon catalyst with weak acid sites converts chitin, an abundant but highly recalcitrant biomass, selectively into chitin‐oligosaccharides under ball‐milling conditions. Large chitin molecules are hydrolyzed...
Oligosaccharides possess fascinating functions that are applicable in a variety of fields, such as agriculture. However, the selective synthesis of oligosaccharides, especially chitin‐oligosaccharides, has remained a challenge. Chitin‐oligosaccharides activate the plant immune system, enabling crops to withstand pathogens without harmful agrichemicals. Here, we demonstrate the conversion of chitin...
