Abstract: A comprehensive review of the publications about rosin-based chemicals has been compiled.
Rosin, or colophony, is a natural, abundant, cheap and non-toxic raw material which can be easily
modified to obtain numerous useful products, which makes it an excellent subject of innovative
research, attracting growing interest in recent years. The last extensive review in this research area
was published in 2008, so the current article contains the most promising, repeatable achievements in
synthesis of rosin-derived chemicals, published in scientific literature from 2008 to 2018. The first
part of the review includes low/medium molecule weight compounds: Especially intermediates,
resins, monomers, curing agents, surfactants, medications and biocides. The second part is about
macromolecules: mainly elastomers, polymers for biomedical applications, coatings, adhesives,
surfactants, sorbents, organosilicons and polysaccharides. In conclusion, a critical evaluation of
the publications in terms of data completeness has been carried out with an indication of the most
promising directions of rosin-based chemicals development.

Keywords: rosin; curing agent; resin; surfactant; biocide; medicine; polymer

1. Introduction
The natural origin, low price, abundance and chemical modification potential of rosin make it a
valuable raw material in numerous applications [1–14]. Besides the mentioned advantages, rosin is
also safe for living organisms [15]. Its derivatives are claimed as non-toxic as well, despite their
allergenicity [16,17]. This unique set of beneficial properties of rosin determines it as an attractive
subject of innovative research characterized by a considerably growing interest in recent decades,
as can be seen in Figure 1.
Unfortunately, the awareness of the possibility of using rosin as a raw material for obtaining
valuable chemicals is generally unsatisfactory. There is a burning need to bring this topic to the
attention of a larger group of scientists. Furthermore, the growing number of publications causes
difficulties in keeping up with the latest research, as well as in selection of more promising discoveries.
Sadly, the last comprehensive review document dedicated exclusively to rosin and its modifications
was published in 2008 [1]. Since then, only fragmentary information on rosin has appeared in review
articles on bio-based polymers and resin systems [2–21], as well as in reviews on rosin derivatives in
catalysis [12], controlled drug-delivery systems [13] and small-molecule compounds [14].
In view of these facts, publication of a wide, comprehensive and critical review of achievements
since 2008 is an important solution to solve the problem of a severe lack of current review literature in
this field. The growing number of publications is not the only obstacle in creating a literature review
on rosin. No less important challenge is to collect information from existing literature. Quite often

3.1. General Comments on the Whole Review


The review contains short, but exhaustive descriptions of rosin-derived compound syntheses
published in the scientific literature from the JCR list since 2008. It does not include older
achievements in the field of rosin, that were widely described in previous review literature [1,65] and
commercialized [66–80]. It includes preparations of completely new chemicals, as well as new ways to
synthesize already known compounds. Only products with declared or obvious practical applications
have been chosen. The review is divided into two sections according to the general molecular structure
of the prepared compounds, while each section is divided according to practical application and the
structure similarity of the compounds. The collected data are given in the article text and in schemes.
The following information are presented in the text: product name, product morphology, substrates
name(s), separation techniques and practical applications. On the other hand, data such as reaction
scheme, catalyst use, reaction media, temperature, pressure, time and yield are included in the schemes.
There are situations where some data simply has not been reported by original authors, e.g., product
morphology or yield. Such missing data could not be presented in this review. What does the above
mean? The more data provided, the more advanced the research on a compound, and the more reliable
the recipe. The lack of data should indicate that the research on a certain rosin derivative is probably at
an early, basic stage. It has to be underlined that reaction schemes do not take into account advanced
stereochemistry. Finally, almost all reactions were conducted under an inert atmosphere: nitrogen or
argon, so reaction schemes do not include this information.

3.2. Small and Medium Molecule Compounds


This section describes rosin-derived small/medium molecule compounds with strictly defined
structures that do not contain the repeated units typical for macromolecules.

3.2.1. Intermediates
Intermediates are the products of simple rosin modifications, which are necessary for the
preparation of many new compounds. They can be synthesized in very simple, well described ways
with high yields. The sustainability of these processes is high: They usually use a biobased main
substrate (rosin) in solvent-free processes. Some drawback can be the separation processes, that may
not always be easy, because of the high viscosity, m.p. and stickiness of products. In view of the
above, rosin-based intermediates have very high commercialization potential and some of them are
commercially available in certain regions of the world.
Maleopimaric acid is an off-white solid (m.p. 223 ◦ C). It can be prepared from abietic acid and
maleic anhydride via a Diels-Alder reaction according to Scheme 1 [81], followed by recrystallization [82].
Maleopimaric acid is one of the crucial products in rosin chemistry. It can be used directly as an
epoxy resin hardener, but its applications are much wider. They include preparation of epoxy
resins [83,84], acrylic resins [85–87], allyl resins [88–90], polyols [91], bio-based curing agents for
synthetic epoxy resins [92–98] or bio-based ones [99], surfactants [100–103], intermediates [104,105],
biologically active compounds [105–108], polyurethanes [109–112], chemicals for NMR techniques [113]
and photolitography [114], sorbents [115], organosilicon compounds [116], printing inks [117] and
for the hydrophobization of wood surfaces [118–120]. It is noteworthy that the main degradation
products of maleopimaric acid are water, carbon dioxide, formamide and also aliphatic and aromatic
derivatives [121]. It is worth noting that fumaropimaric acid is an isomer of hydrated maleopimaric
acid, which can be synthesized in a similar way [122], but its importance to rosin chemistry is much
smaller: it can be used in synthesis of triglycidyl epoxy resin [122] and water-borne polyurethanes [109].
