Abstract

Diversification of the furanic platform has been developed from 4-ketovalerolactone (KVL), a platform molecule readily available from furfuryl alcohol. A halogen-free synthetic route to δ-aminolevulinic acid is reported alongside a further exploration of KVL in the synthesis of important 5-hyrdoxy levulinic acid esters. Flow chemistry approaches have been implemented for the synthesis of short- and long-chain esters that may find applications as biorenewable fuel oxygenates and lubricants, respectively.
