Preparation of valeric acid and valerate esters from biomass-derived levulinic acid using metal triflates + Pd/C

Recently, great attention has been paid to the study of the conversion of biomass-derived compounds to value-Added chemicals. Levulinic acid (LA) is a versatile and valuable chemical and its various applications have been described. The selective conversion of biomass-derived LA to produce valeric acid and valerate esters was successfully performed in the presence of H2, in which metal triflates and Pd/C were used as the catalysts. Under optimal conditions, a 99% conversion of LA and a 92% selectivity of valeric acid was obtained with Hf(OTf)4 and Pd/C as the catalysts at a relatively low temperature of 150 °C. Moreover, the metal center of the catalyst, the solvent, the reaction temperature and other reaction conditions were studied. In addition, the results of the recycling experiment exhibited that the catalysts continued to have a satisfactory activity after being reused 5 times.

Structure-function correlation in lipase catalysed esterification reactions of short and medium carbon chain length alcohols and acids

An attempt has been made to correlate the carbon chain lengths of acids and alcohols to the extent of esterification in the Rhizomucor miehei lipase catalyzed esterification reactions involving acids of carbon chain length C2-C5 and alcohols of carbon chain length C1-C8.
