Application:

Levulinic Acid (CAS: 123-76-2) is easily soluble in water and alcohol, ether organic solvents. Distillation at atmospheric pressure hardly decomposes, and if heated for a long time, water is lost to become unsaturated γ-lactone. It is a biomass product and its derivatives, such as ethyl levulinate and alkyl levulinate, can be used as fuel additives. It is used for calcium levulinate in pharmaceuticals, as esters in solvents and plasticizers, and for making valerolactone. Hydrogenation of levulinic acid can produce other useful chemicals. Levulinic Acid is a precursor for the synthesis of useful intermediates such as γ-valerolactone, ethyl levulinate, pentanoic acid and 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran. Derivatization and esterification of levulinic acid results in potential biofuels.
Levulinic Acid can be used as the raw materials of medicine, spices and paint, and used as solvent. This product has wide applications. Levulinic acid can be used as both a carboxylic acid and can also be used as a ketone for reaction for making various kinds of products through esterification, halogenation, hydrogenation, oxidation dehydrogenation, condensation, etc., including resins, pharmaceuticals, spices, solvents, rubber and plastic additives, lubricants additives, surfactants and so on. In the pharmaceutical industry, its calcium salt (calcium fructose) can be used for intravenous injection. As a nutritional medicine, it helps to boost the formation of bone and maintain the normal excitability of nerves and muscles. It can also used for the production of indomethacin and plant hormones. Levulinic acid manufactured bisphenol acid can be made of water-soluble resin, used in the paper industry to produce filter paper. Levulinic acid is also an intermediate of pesticides and dyes.
Used for biochemical reagents, but also for organic synthesis.
Levulinic Acid can be used as an important chemical raw material or solvents. It can be used for the manufacturing of medicine (intravenous injection, indomethacin, etc.), resin (bisphenol acid water-soluble resin), spices (spices or tobacco spices), paint, paint, pesticides, and surfactants. It can be used for biochemical research; manufacturing of esters and drugs. It is also the inhibitor of chlorophyll synthesis.
