Production of C-14 Levulinate Ester from Glucose Fermentation Liquors Catalyzed by Acidic Ionic Liquids in a Solvent-Free Self-Biphasic System

Herein, we present the C-14 levulinate ester of 2,3-butanediol as the product of sugar fermentation liquors. The designed Bronsted acidic ionic liquid (BAIL) catalysts enable self-induced phase sep...
