Levulinic acid
Levulinic acid is a precursor for the synthesis of useful intermediates such as γ-valerolactone, ethyl levulinate, pentanoic acid and 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran. Derivatization and esterification of levulinic acid results in potential biofuels. It can also be used in: The preparation of catalytic composite to synthesize 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural. The synthesis of a commercial fragrance, fraistone. The syn…
