Melchiorre, Massimo; Amendola, Raffaele; Benessere, Vincenzo; Cucciolito, Maria E.; Ruffo, Francesco; Esposito, Roberto published the artcile< Solvent-free transesterification of methyl levulinate and esterification of levulinic acid catalyzed by a homogeneous iron(III) dimer complex>, HPLC of Formula: 104-76-7, the main research area is transesterification methyl levulinate esterification levulinic acid iron complex catalyst.
Levulinic acid esters MeC(O)CH2CH2CO2R (LAE) are emerging bio-based chems. used as solvents, additives and plasticizers. In this work a variety of levulinates (R= Bu, n-hexyl, n-octyl, 2-ethylhexyl, geranyl, 2-ethoxyethyl, benzyl, 2-octyl, cyclohexyl, menthyl) is obtained from the solvent-free transesterification of Me levulinate (ML) and esterification of levulinic acid (LA), catalyzed by a dimeric complex of iron(III). The results are competitive with the few related reports of literature mainly based on heterogeneous catalysis. This first systematic study based on a homogeneous catalytic system therefore represents a significant extension within the field of biomass valorization.
