Direct Production of Alkyl Levulinates from Cellulosic Biomass by a Single-Step Acidic Solvolysis System at Ambient Atmospheric Pressure
A simple method was invented to achieve a high yield of cellulosic biomass-derived alkyl levulinates, which have the potential to be alternative fuel additives. Alkyl levulinates, such as butyl-, pentyl-, and hexyl levulinates, were produced using single-step acid-catalyzed solvolysis of cellulosic...
