Cascade upgrading of γ-valerolactone (GVL), produced from renewable cellulosic biomass, with selective conversion to biofuels pentyl valerate (PV) and pentane in one pot using a bifunctional Pd/HY catalyst is described. Excellent catalytic performance (over 99% conversion of GVL, 60.6% yield of PV and 22.9% yield of pentane) was achieved in one step. These biofuels can be targeted for gasoline and jet fuel applications.
描述了由可再生纤维素生物质生产的γ-戊内酯（GVL）的级联升级，使用双功能Pd/HY催化剂在一锅法中选择性转化为生物燃料戊酸戊酯（PV）和戊烷。一步实现了优异的催化性能（GVL转化率超过99%，PV产率60.6%，戊烷产率22.9%）。这些生物燃料可用于汽油和喷气燃料应用。
