Levulinic Acid
CAS No.: 123-76-2
Formula: C5H8O3
EINECS: 204-649-2
Product Description
Levulinic acid is an organic compound with the molecular formula C5H8O3. Easy to dissolve in water and some organic solvents, but insoluble in turpentine, and carbon tetrachloride. Atmospheric distillation hardly decomposes, while prolonged heating results in water loss and the formation of unsaturated compounds γ- Lactone.
Application:
Acetyl propionate/Levulinic acid is a compound that contains both carbonyl and α- Multifunctional compounds of hydrogen and carboxyl groups are the basic raw materials for the synthesis of various light chemical products. They have wide application value in organic synthesis, industry, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries, and are hydrogenation products of acetylpropionic acid γ- Pentaprolactone is an advanced solvent and can be used as an intermediate product in the production of synthetic rubber, cold resistant plasticizers, and surfactants.
