Tian, Yi published the artcileA New Sulfonic Acid-Functionalized Organic Polymer Catalyst for the Synthesis of Biomass-Derived Alkyl Levulinates, Application In Synthesis of 539-88-8, the main research area is sulfonate functionalized organic polymer catalyst biomass alkyl levulinate.
Alkyl levulinates are important biobased chems. with great fuel-blending properties and good reactivity. In this work, a new functionalized nitrogen-containing organic polymer bearing sulfonic acid groups (PDVTA-SO3H) was successfully prepared and studied for the esterification of levulinic acid with alcs. to produce alkyl levulinates. The results showed that this sulfonic acid-functionalized organic polymer possessed high catalytic activity, and the yield of Bu levulinate reached 97.4% under the mild conditions. PDVTA-SO3H exhibited strong acidic sites and high stability, and would be well expected to be a potential candidate better than some com. sulfonic solid catalysts for alkyl levulinates production The catalyst had been reused without any treatment for five times and the results proved its potential for industrial applications.
