An Overview of the Obtaining of Biomass-derived Gamma-valerolactone from Levulinic Acid or Esters without H2 Supply

Gamma-valerolactone (GVL) is a highly reactive keto-lactone and a promising platform biomolecule, used as an additive for food and fuels, green solvent, and fuels precursor, among others. Its production from biomass usually involves hydrogenation and subsequent cyclization of levulinic acid or its e...
