Catalytic Synthesis of Diphenolic Acid from Levulinic Acid over Bronsted Acidic Ionic Liquids

SO3H-based acidic ionic liquids were used as Brønsted acid catalysts for synthesis of diphenolic acid (DPA) from the condensation of phenol and levulinic acid, a platform chemical from renewable materials. Evidence is presented that the product with p,p’- and o,p’-isomers was obtained. Under the opt...
