Abstract

LA Lac′ers: The conversion of levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone is catalyzed by heterogeneous catalysts without using the external H2. RuP/SiO2 has been demonstrated to be a bifunctional catalyst giving a yield of 96 %. Through a two-step process, excellent performance can be achieved in eight recycling runs. Moreover, no hazardous 2-Me-THF is produced during the process.
