Abstract
The tangible environmental concerns of the last few decades are prompting science to a new sustainable paradigm for chemical reactions and a circular economy. In the present manuscript, complying with this dichotomy, Sardinian wool is presented as a promising material for organic synthesis. Aldol and nitro-aldol additions, and Knoevenagel reactions were demonstrated with high efficiency under wool-promoted and solvent-free conditions, paving the way to novel approaches for converting wool biomass waste into value-added products for C–C bond formation.
