Biobased reaction pathways toward adipic acid starting from renewables such as glucose or vegetable oils are more benign than the traditional petrochemical approaches. Various combined fermentative/chemo-catalytic or fully enzymatic adipic acid processes are now emerging. It is reasonable to expect that high-quality bioadipic acid can technically be introduced into the market within the next few years. This review paper describes the imminent transition from adipic acid to bioadipic acid.
