One-pot conversion of biomass-derived xylose and furfural into levulinate esters via acid catalysis?
Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2017-02-15 DOI: 10.1039/C7CC01078H
Abstract
Direct conversion of biomass-derived xylose and furfural into levulinic acid, a platform molecule, via acid-catalysis has been accomplished for the first time in dimethoxymethane/methanol. Dimethoxymethane acted as an electrophile to transform furfural into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). Methanol suppressed both the polymerisation of the sugars/furans and the Aldol condensation of levulinic acid/ester.
