An improved catalytic system for the reduction of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactoneElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/c4cy00719k

An improved bidentate phosphine-modified recyclable catalytic system was developed for the selective conversion of biomass-derived levulinic acid into γ-valerolactone with a TOF of 21 233 h −1 in solvent-, chlorine- and additive-free reaction environments. An improved bidentate phosphine-modified Ru...

Description
Summary:An improved bidentate phosphine-modified recyclable catalytic system was developed for the selective conversion of biomass-derived levulinic acid into γ-valerolactone with a TOF of 21 233 h −1 in solvent-, chlorine- and additive-free reaction environments. An improved bidentate phosphine-modified Ru catalytic system was developed for the selective reduction of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone.
