Enhanced Yield of Methyl Ethyl Ketone through Levulinic Acid Decarboxylation in the AgNO<sub>3</sub>/K<sub>2</sub>S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>8</sub> System: Mechanistic Insights and Characterization of Metallic Species

Enhanced Yield of Methyl Ethyl Ketone through Levulinic Acid Decarboxylation in the AgNO<sub>3</sub>/K<sub>2</sub>S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>8</sub> System: Mechanistic Insights and Characterization of Metallic Species

Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is among the most extensively utilized solvents in various industrial applications. In this study, we present a highly efficient synthesis route for MEK via the decarboxylation of biomass-derived levulinic acid, using potassium persulfate (K<sub>2</sub>S<sub&...
