Catalytic Decomposition of Glucose to Levulinic Acid by Synergy of Organic Lewis Acid and Brønsted Acid in Water
Four organic Lewis acids, samarium(III), aluminum(III), yttrium(III), and indium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonates were combined with four organic Brønsted acids, benzenesulfonic, toluene-p-sulfonic, trichloroacetic, and oxalic acids to synergistically catalyze the decomposition of glucose to produce...
