Selective Hydrogenation of Levulinic Acid to γ-valerolactone using in-situ generated Ruthenium Nanoparticles derived from Ru-NHC complexes

| Chemistry World Verified
The hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to -valerolactone (GVL) was studied by using mono- and bidentate p-cymene ruthenium(II) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes as catalysts precursors. In water, all complexes were found to be reduced in-situ to form ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) with a high hydrogenation activity.
