Abstract<\/strong> \u2014 Reduc\u00adtion of oxy\u00adgenat\u00aded bio\u00admass sub\u00adstrates will be a core process in the inte\u00adgrat\u00aded biore\u00adfin\u00adery in order to pro\u00adduce a suite of petro\u00adle\u00adum analogs for indus\u00adtri\u00adal and con\u00adsumer prod\u00aducts. In our lab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adto\u00adry, we have exam\u00adined in detail the hydro\u00adgena\u00adtion and hydrogenol\u00ady\u00adsis of bio\u00admass-derived poly\u00adols and car\u00adboxylic acids as plat\u00adform inter\u00adme\u00addi\u00adates for a vari\u00adety of prod\u00aduct species.
