One-pot synthesis of dimethyl succinate from d-fructose using Amberlyst-70 catalyst

摘要: Abstract Dimethyl succinate (DMS), an important building block of bio-based platform chemicals, was produced from d -fructose under one-pot and metal-free conditions for the first time. In presence 1.5 mmol -fructose, 75 mg Amberlyst-70 10 bar O2, 31% DMS along with 23% methyl levulinate (ML) yielded at 130°C 4 h. The effects different reaction parameters as well side products solvent on efficiency were systematically investigated. order to portray scope process, various biomass derivatives, such 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural, furfuryl alcohol, etc., used promising starting materials synthesis using same catalytic system. Besides, stability catalyst assessed, pathway also proposed based experimental results observations.
