TY - JOUR T1 - Ionic liquids for the sustainable transformation of levulinic acid to gamma-valerolactone (GVL) JF - Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry Y1 - 2022 A1 - Kondawar, Sharda A1 - Rode, Chandrashekhar KW - Biomass KW - Gamma valerolactone KW - Hydrogenation KW - Ionic liquid KW - levulinic acid AB -

This short review is focused on recent findings on the role of ionic liquids (ILs) in catalysing the hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to gamma valerolactone (GVL), which is a cascade reaction involving more than one type of reaction. A brief introduction on green aspects of IL as a catalyst followed by various types of ILs being used for hydrogenation of LA to GVL are discussed. The unique characteristics of ILs responsible for hydrogenation reaction are also explained along with the current and upcoming scenario of IL catalysed hydrogenation of LA to GVL.
