Transfer Hydrogenation of Levulinic Acid to γ-Valerolactone and Pyrrolidones Using a Homogeneous Nickel Catalyst

Tamara Jurado-Vazquez et al.

Summary: A well-defined homogeneous nickel-based catalyst was reported for the hydrogenation of levulinic acid to yield gamma-valerolactone under relatively mild conditions, with formic acid as the transfer hydrogenation agent. Excellent yield and selectivity were achieved under optimized conditions. The catalyst was also assessed for the generation of 2-pyrrolydones with high yield and fair to good selectivity under different reaction conditions.

Mild reduction with silanes and reductive amination of levulinic acid using a simple manganese catalyst

Diego A. Roa et al.

Summary: A manganese-based catalytic system using [Mn(CO)(5)Br] was studied for the selective reduction of levulinic acid to 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran, and the production of pyrrolidines via reductive amination using silanes. The results showed high efficiency, selectivity, and yields under mild reaction conditions.
