Conversion of Mono- and Disaccharides to Ethyl Levulinate and Ethyl Pyranoside with Sulfonic Acid-Functionalized Ionic Liquids

Value‐added chemicals from sugars: Sulfonic acid‐functionalized ionic liquids are attractive and promising catalyst for the conversion of sugars to ethyl levulinate and ethyl‐D‐glucopyranoside in ethanol. These task‐specific ionic liquids can be recovered and reused in at least three cycles in the c...

Description
Summary:Value‐added chemicals from sugars: Sulfonic acid‐functionalized ionic liquids are attractive and promising catalyst for the conversion of sugars to ethyl levulinate and ethyl‐D‐glucopyranoside in ethanol. These task‐specific ionic liquids can be recovered and reused in at least three cycles in the conversion of fructose to ethyl levulinate without any loss of activity.
