Wang, Tianlong published the artcileMPV reduction of ethyl levulinate to γ-valerolactone by the biomass-derived chitosan-supported Zr catalyst, SDS of cas: 539-88-8, the main research area is reduction ethyl levulinate gamma valerolactone biomass chitosan zirconium catalyst.
Herein, we used the biopolymer chitosan as a support to synthesize a biomass-derived catalyst (chitosan-Zr) to achieve GVL in 97% yield from MPV reduction of EL, by using isopropanol as a hydrogen source. The catalyst system is also applicable to the reduction of various organic compounds with carbonyl groups. Addnl., we have proposed a possible mechanism for this reaction based on the systematic investigation towards the reaction. Moreover, the recycle and reuse experiment showed that this chitosan-Zr exhibited long-life catalytic performance and can maintain its high catalytic performance even after five runs of recycle and reuse experiments
