Most of the natural products isolated at present are heterocyclic compounds, so heterocyclic compounds occupy an important position in the research of organic chemistry. A compound: 591-12-8, is researched, SMILESS is O=C1OC(C)=CC1, Molecular C5H6O2Journal, Journal of Catalysis called Investigation of solvent effects in the hydrodeoxygenation of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone over Ru catalysts, Author is Mamun, Osman; Saleheen, Mohammad; Bond, Jesse Q.; Heyden, Andreas, the main research direction is levulinic acid hydrodeoxygenation valerolactone ruthenium catalyst solvent effect.Reference of 5-Methylfuran-2(3H)-one.
Liquid phase, reductive deoxygenation of biomass derived platform chems. over transition metal surfaces constitutes an efficient scheme for upgrading lignocellulosic biomass. The solvation effects on the reaction kinetics of the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of levulinic acid (LA) towards the formation of γ-valerolactone (GVL) over Ru(0 0 0 1) has been studied in three condensed phase media, i.e., liquid water, methanol, and 1,4-dioxane. Detailed microkinetic models have been developed incorporating various catalytic pathways including formation of 4-hydroxypentanoic acid (HPA) and α-angelicalactone (AGL) to simulate the catalytic activity of Ru(0 0 0 1) under various reaction conditions of solvent, temperature, and partial pressures. Our microkinetic models suggest that direct catalytic conversion with alkoxy formation is the preferred reaction mechanism in all reaction environments. Furthermore, we find that water facilitates the reaction kinetics significantly and that the solvent effect is strongest at lower temperatures (T < 373 K). Here, rate increases due to liquid water solvation effects of 2-4 orders of magnitude are observed All solvents increase the rate of reaction relative to the gas phase; however, solvation effects decrease with decrease in polarity. 1,4-dioxane increases the rate only minimally due to competitive adsorption of the solvent mols. despite facilitating the partially rate controlling step of the LA hydrogenation to an alkoxy intermediate.
