Guo, Tianmeng published the artcileSelective conversion of biomass-derived levulinic acid to ethyl levulinate catalyzed by metal organic framework (MOF)-supported polyoxometalates, Application of Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate, the main research area is biomass ethyl levulinate metal organic framework MOF supported polyoxometalate.
The esterification of levulinic acid (LA) and ethanol into Et levulinate is an attractive biomass conversion process since the product EL has wide applications as food additive, fragrance and fuel. Herein, a metal-organic framework (MOF)-supported phosphomolybdic acid [Cu-BTC][HPM] was synthesized with 1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic acid, copper nitrate and phosphomolybdic acid in a one-step process at ambient temperature The synthesized [Cu-BTC][HPM] was used for the catalytic esterification of levulinic acid to EL in ethanol, and showed excellent activity with a high EL yield close to 100% at 120 °C for 6 h, which should be ascribed to the uniform dispersion of HPM embedded in the MOF. The [Cu-BTC][HPM] catalyst could keep stable crystal structure and active component contents, and thus exhibited good stability in recycling process.
Applied Catalysis, A: General published new progress about Esterification. 539-88-8 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate, and the molecular formula is C7H12O3, Application of Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate.
