Glucose Conversion Process to Methyl Lactate Catalyzed by SnCl4-based Homogeneous Catalysis

Biomass is a renewable alternative to fossil fuels and a valuable source of chemicals. In this study, a facile and efficient method was established to improve the selectivity of methyl lactate (MLA) for the homogeneous Lewis acid catalyzed chemical conversion of glucose and methanol. The effects of...
