Abstract
A facile protocol for the alcoholysis of furfuryl alcohol into levulinate esters has been developed employing low catalyst loadings of indium(III) triflate. This method provides a rapid and efficient route for the synthesis of these useful materials. The alcoholysis reactions of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), furfural and furfural dimethylacetal were also investigated under these reaction conditions.
