Abstract

The production of alkyl levulinates from furfuryl alcohol (FAL) in alcohol media was investigated at moderate temperature in the presence of Brønsted acidic ionic liquids. The reaction was examined and optimized under batch conditions, where it was found that furfuryl alcohol was rapidly and almost quantitatively converted into intermediate products including 2-alkoxymethylfuran and 4, 5, 5-trialkoxypentan-2-one, and high alkyl ...
