One-Pot Synthesis of Levulinic Acid/Ester from C5 Carbohydrates in a Methanol Medium
A process for direct conversion of xylose to methyl levulinate and levulinic acid has been developed in this study. A methanol medium, solid acid catalyst Amberlyst 70, and hydrogenation catalyst Pd/Al2O3 were used to direct xylose to follow the designed route to the target products. The methanol me...
