Sugar and alcohol—a superior combo: The telomerization activity of the Pd/TOMPP catalyst is screened using thirteen different biomass-derived carbohydrates and sugar alcohols. High substrate conversions are achieved by using low Pd loading and without the use of an added base. In terms of butadiene conversion, a clear structure–activity relationship is found, which is in line with the series: sugar alcohols>sucrose>aldohexoses>aldopentoses>ketohexoses.
