One Pot Conversion of Glucose to Ethyl Levulinate over a Porous Hydrothermal Acid Catalyst in Green Solvents
Bosilj, Monika; Schmidt, Johannes; Fischer, Anna; & White, Robin J. (Forthcoming). One Pot Conversion of Glucose to Ethyl Levulinate over a Porous Hydrothermal Acid Catalyst in Green Solvents. RSC Advances.
The one-pot conversion of glucose to ethyl levulinate over an acid-functionalised hydrothermal catalyst (derived from glucose) provides high initial yields up to 37 mol%, comparable to the homogeneous H2SO4 catalyst, whilst catalyst performance is strongly influenced by green solvent choice.
