MECHANISTIC STUDY OF THE CONVERSION FROM DMDFC TO DOHE IN THE LEVULINIC ACID FORMATION PROCESS BY THEORETICAL APPROACHES

A reaction route accounting for the formation of levulinic acid from 5-hydroxymethylfuran-2-carbaldehyde was deduced on the basis of the mechanism previously offered by Horvat, to match the steps with more details. A newly deduced reaction route was proposed between two intermediate products within...
