Preface
Gold catalysts have been proven to possess a unique set of catalytic properties for a variety of reactions. The consequent interest in catalysis by gold has resulted in extensive research activity in this area. Biomass is a renewable and rich source of chemicals. New methods of biomass valorization involve catalytic transformations of biomass-derived compoun
