Methyl levulinate can be synthesized from glucose in the presence of a few drops of dilute sulfuric acid in methanol. | [Synthesis]
The acid was converted to the ester by boiling in methanol (0.5 M solution) in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid (500 μL). The reaction was followed by TLC (heptane/EtOAc 2:1). When only trace amounts of acid remained, the reaction mixture was co |
