Application
Levulinic acid is a precursor for the synthesis of useful intermediates such as -valerolactone ethyl levulinate pentanoic acid and 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran.[1][2][3]Derivatization and esterification of levulinic acid results in potential biofuels.
Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.
General Description
Levulinic acid or 4-oxopentanoic acid is an organic compound with the formula CH3C(O)CH2CH2CO2H. It is classified as a keto acid. This white crystalline solid is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It is derived from degradation of cellulose and is a potential precursor to biofuels.
