Solvent-free transesterification of methyl levulinate and esterification of levulinic acid catalyzed by a homogeneous iron(III) dimer complex

Levulinic acid esters MeC(O)CH2CH2CO2R (LAE) are emerging bio-based chemicals used as solvents, additives and plasticizers. In this work a variety of levulinates (R= n-butyl, n-hexyl, n-octyl, 2-ethylhexyl, geranyl, 2-ethoxyethyl, benzyl, 2-octyl, cyclohexyl, menthyl) is obtained from the solvent-free transesterification of methyl levulinate (ML) and esterification of levulinic acid (LA), catalyzed by a dimeric complex of iron(III). The results are competitive with the few related reports of literature mainly based on heterogeneous catalysis. This first systematic study based on a homogeneous catalytic system therefore represents a significant extension within the field of biomass valorization.

A fructose-based biomass catalytic conversion systems furan derivatives

A method for preparing furan derivatives by catalytic conversion of fructose-based biomass is characterized by: taking biomass such as fructose, cane sugar, inulin and the like as raw materials, taking low-boiling-point alcohols comprising aliphatic alcohols or alicyclic alcohols all with six or less than six carbon atoms as a solvent, and under the effect of a catalyst, performing reactions comprising hydrolysis, dehydration, etherfication and the like for coupling so as to obtain furan derivatives such as 5-alkoxymethyl furfural, levulinate esters, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and the like. The method has the advantages of high raw material utilization rate, high in-situ coupling efficiency in the dehydration and etherfication reactions, and easily separated and purified system.
