This short review summarizes recent findings on the role of ionic liquids (ILs) in catalyzing the hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to gamma valerolactone (GVL). It provides a brief introduction to the environmentally friendly nature of ILs as catalysts and discusses various types of ILs used for the hydrogenation of LA to GVL. The unique characteristics of ILs responsible for the hydrogenation reaction are explained, along with the current and upcoming scenarios of IL-catalyzed hydrogenation of LA to GVL.
This short review is focused on recent findings on the role of ionic liquids (ILs) in catalysing the hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to gamma valerolactone (GVL), which is a cascade reaction involving more than one type of reaction. A brief introduction on green aspects of IL as a catalyst followed by various types of ILs being used for hydrogenation of LA to GVL are discussed. The unique characteristics of ILs responsible for hydrogenation reaction are also explained along with the current and upcoming scenario of IL catalysed hydrogenation of LA to GVL.
