Synthesis and Applications of Alkyl Levulinates
Abstract
Alkyl levulinates are biobased chemicals having a strong potential to be used in various applications, substituting current chemicals produced from petro-chemical routes. Dedicated literature has considerably increased in the past five years. This review describes state-of-the-art preparation routes and their main application fields. Alkyl levulinates are obtained in high yields and selectivities from simple biomass-derived products like levulinic acid or furfuryl alcohol. They are also obtained directly from lignocellulosic resources with generally limited yields. In all cases, the transformation needs a catalyst. Current efforts are now performed with developing efficient and recyclable catalysts. Alkyl levulinates found applications as solvents and additives as well as in the area of chemical synthesis. The development of new preparation routes and applications of alkyl levulinates are contributing to future greener and sustainable processes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
