Ionic liquids for the sustainable transformation of levulinic acid to gamma-valerolactone (GVL)

S Kondawar, C Rode

, Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry Volume 35, June 2022, 100607

This short review is focused on recent findings on the role of ionic liquids (ILs) in catalysing the hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to gamma valerolactone (GVL), which is a cascade reaction involving more than one type of reaction.

Among various biomass-derived compounds, gamma-valerolactone (GVL) is considered the most promising renewable chemical, possesses unique physicochemical properties and has wide applications in the food and chemical industries.

Influence of W on the reduction behaviour and Br?nsted acidity of Ni/TiO2catalyst in the hydrogenation of levulinic acid to valeric acid: Pyridine adsorbed DRIFTS study

Kumar, V. Vijay,Naresh,Deepa,Bhavani, P. Ganga,Nagaraju,Sudhakar,Chary,Venugopal,Tardio,Bhargava

, p. 169 - 176 (2017)

The ionic Ni species seems to be involved in the conversion of γ-valerolactone (GVL) to valeric acid (VA). Pyridine adsorbed infrared (IR) spectra revealed an enormous increase in surface Br?nsted acidity originated from tungsten interacted Ni/TiO2are the sites responsible for ring opening of GVL to form VA.
