Efficient catalytic hydrogenation of alkyl levulinates to γ-valerolactone (original) (raw)

Abstract

Catalytic hydrogenation of alkyl levulinates to γ-valerolactone is achieved under mild reaction conditions employing pincer PNP-M complexes. High efficacy is demonstrated with TON's exceeding 9000. Furthermore, the feasibility of recycling is shown.
