Xu, Wen-Yan published the artcileTransition-Metal-Free Valorization of Biomass-derived Levulinic Acid Derivatives: Synthesis of Curcumene and Xanthorrhizol, Computed Properties of 539-88-8, the main research area is valorization biomass levulinic acid curcumene xanthorrhizol methyltetralone synthesis; biomass conversion; levulinic acid derivatives; rac-curcumene; rac-xanthorrhizol; tosylhydrazone.
Levulinic acid (LA) is acknowledged one of the most promising biomass-derived platform mols. and can be transformed into various value-added chems. Here, we report a new reaction process for the valorization of LA derivatives under transition-metal-free condition. The protocol combined with the conversion of the levulinate to tosylhydrazone and base promoted arylation, acylation, and etherification cross-coupling. Moreover, our method was applied to synthesize three biol. active mols., rac-curcumene (I), rac-xanthorrhizol synthetic precursor (II), and rac-4,7-dimethyl-α-tetralone (III). This reaction discloses a new avenue for the high-value utilization of platform mols.
