O-25　ギ酸を利用したBaeyer–Villiger 酸化によるレブリン酸からのコハク酸生成

抄録

Levulinic acid is one of the platform chemicals synthesized from cellulose with the generation of formic acid. Succinic acid, which can be synthesized from levulinic acid by Baeyer–Villiger oxidation, is also one of the platform chemicals. Succinic acid is a versatile substance with a wide range of applications. In this study, we investigated the reactivity of levulinic acid-succinic acid reaction with performic acid, obtained from formic acid and H₂O₂. The yield of succinic acid was 3.76% after 180 min at 90 °C. Most of the formic acid and H₂O₂ were decomposed immediately after the start of the reaction, and the yields of the various products converged accordingly. This result suggested the concentrations of formic acid and H₂O₂ have a significant effect on succinic acid synthesis.
