Karnjanakom, Surachai published the artcileDirect conversion of sugar into ethyl levulinate catalyzed by selective heterogeneous acid under co-solvent system, Formula: C7H12O3, the main research area is sugar ethyl levulinate catalyzed acid solvent system.
The direct synthesis of Et levulinate (EL) from sucrose was investigated under co-solvent of THF/ethanol over stable/active heterogeneous acid catalyst. Several Lewis acid-metal oxides were doped onto Bronsted acid-sulfonated carbon (SC) and the results found that Zn-SC exhibited highest activity for production of EL from sucrose conversion of 100% with a selectivity of 72.1%. The catalytic mechanism for conversion of sucrose into EL and other products was investigated through significant effects such as catalyst type, co-solvent and ultrasonic application. The catalyst reusability test exhibited high stability for five cycles and then dramatically decreased without any regeneration process.
Catalysis Communications published new progress about Biomass. 539-88-8 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate, and the molecular formula is C7H12O3, Formula: C7H12O3.
