Abstract
Copper(Ⅱ) trifluoromethanesulfonate was used as a Lewis acid catalyst for alcoholysis of fructose to methyl levulinate.The influence of catalyst types and dosage,reaction temperature,reaction pressure and reaction time on the yield of methyl levulinate were investigated.The results showed that fructose was converted completely,and the maximum methyl levulinate yield of 88.1% was obtained under the reaction condition of reaction pressure 2 MPa,fructose 0.75 g,methanol 24 g,catalyst dosage 0.36 g,reaction temperature 120 ℃ and reaction time 2.0 h.
