The upgrading of biomass‐derived compounds has arisen in recent years as a very
promising research field in both academia and industry. In this sense, a lot of new processes …

Levulinic acid (LA), which is considered a versatile biomass-derived molecular platform,
typically occupies a core position in the cellulosic biorefinery system. The heterogeneous …

Abstract The TiO 2 supported Ni catalysts were investigated for vapour phase hydrogenation
of aqueous levulinic acid at ambient pressure. Ni/TiO 2 demonstrated high selectivity of γ …

The aldol condensation of furfural with levulinic acid in the aqueous phase was investigated
over a series of solid catalysts, including oxides (MgO, ZnO, TiO2, ZrO2, MgO–Al2O3, CeO2 …

The one‐pot hydrogenation of levulinic acid to 2‐methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF) was
performed using a series of Ni‐Cu/Al2O3 catalysts in green solvents, such as water and …

A convenient metal-free and solvent-free iodine-catalyzed regioselective greener protocol to
access different types of unsymmetrical chalcogenides with nitrogen-or oxygen-containing …

A mechanistic study of the hydrogenation reaction of levulinic acid (LA) to 2‐
methyltetrahydrofuyran (MTHF) was performed using three different solvents under reactive …

γ-Valerolactone (GVL) is readily accessible by catalytic hydrogenation of carbohydrate-
derived levulinic acid (LA) and is an attractive biobased chemical with a wide range of …

Butyl levulinate was prepared starting from α-angelica lactone and butanol over Amberlyst®
36. Different reaction conditions were optimized, which resulted in full conversion and 94 …

A cascade strategy for the catalytic valorization of aqueous solutions of levulinic acid as well
as of γ-valerolactone to 2-methyltetrahydrofuran or to monoalcohols, 2-butanol and 2 …
