Ethyl levulinate

Description:

Ethyl levulinate, with the CAS number 539-88-8, is an ester derived from levulinic acid and ethanol. It is characterized by its pleasant fruity aroma, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. Ethyl levulinate has a relatively low boiling point, which contributes to its volatility. It is known for its potential as a bio-based solvent and as a precursor in the synthesis of various chemicals. Additionally, it exhibits moderate toxicity, and safety precautions should be taken when handling it. Ethyl levulinate is also of interest in the field of green chemistry due to its renewable origins and potential applications in sustainable processes. Overall, its unique properties make it a valuable compound in both industrial and research settings.

Ethyl Levulinate

CAS: 539-88-8

Ethyl Levulinate is a chemical catalyst that can be used to produce levulinate. The reactivity of this catalyst has been evaluated in the presence of hydrogen tartrate and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. The reaction mechanism includes the formation of an intermediate, which reacts with the metal hydroxide to form ethyl levulinate. This catalyst is stable under acidic conditions and can be used for reactions that require a pH range from 4-8.
