We synthesize a Sn-modified MIL-101(Fe), which can confine Pt to the single-atom scale. This novel Pt@MIL(FeSn) catalyst efficiently hydrogenates levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone (TOF: 1386 h, yield: >99%) at only 100 °C and 1 MPa of H α-angelica lactone as an intermediate. This could be the first report on switching the reaction path from 4-hydroxypentanoic acid to α-angelica lactone under very mild conditions. Incorporating Sn into MIL-101(Fe) enables the creation of abundant micro-pores less than 1 nm and Lewis acidic sites that stabilize Pt atoms. The ensemble of active Pt atoms and a Lewis acid can synergistically enhance adsorption of the CO bond and facilitate dehydrative cyclization of levulinic acid.

In this study, polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG200) was employed as hydrogen bond acceptor, while organic acids served as hydrogen bond donors, to formulate poly-deep eutectic solvents (PDESs), which were utilized to pretreat tea stem. Specially, combining PEG200 and oxalic acid (OA) exhibited a notably high cellulose retention (82.03 %) and most efficient hemicellulose (97.

At a time when increasing attention is paid to sustainability in chemistry, levulinic acid (LA) is one of the most important platform chemicals for the goal of overcoming our dependence on fossil raw materials. In this work, a new catalytic route for the effective utilization of these humin byproducts, enabling a cyclic synthesis of LA using formic acid (FA) as organocatalyst is proposed. Selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) of humins using the H5PV2Mo10O40 (HPA-2) polyoxometalate (POM) catalyst produces FA that can be isolated from the aqueous reaction mixture by using nanofiltration membranes accompanied by a complete catalyst recycling (>99%).

Hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) represents a significant approach for producing the high-value biomass-based platform compound γ-valerolactone (GVL). In this study, an efficient RuIr alloy bimetallic catalyst supported on SiC was synthesized and applied for the aqueous hydrogenation of LA into GVL under mild conditions. The RuIr/SiC catalyst exhibited high LA conversion and GVL selectivity (both > 99%) in water at 0.

Levulinic acid (LA) is a key platform molecule with current applications in the synthesis of several commodity chemicals, including amino-levulinic acid, succinic acid, and valerolactone. In contrast to existing petroleum-based synthesis pathway, biomass-derived --muconic acid (MA) offers a sustainable route to synthesize LA. Here, we show the complete decarboxylation of neat MA to LA without solvent at atmospheric pressure and mild temperature.
