Article Synopsis
- The research presents a method that uses statistical analysis and robotics to optimize the conversion of glucose into two chemicals: methyl lactate and levulinic acid.
- This automated synthesis process utilizes design of experiments techniques to efficiently model glucose transformation through the use of a specific catalyst and varying co-solvents.
- In 58 experimental runs, the method successfully identified optimal conditions, achieving high yields of 75.9% for methyl lactate and 64.5% for levulinic acid through different reaction pathways.
