General Description

Methyl levulinate can be synthesized from glucose in the presence of a few drops of dilute sulfuric acid in methanol.

Synthesis

The acid was converted to the ester by boiling in methanol (0.5 M solution) in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid (500 L). The reaction was followed by TLC (heptane/EtOAc 2:1). When only trace amounts of acid remained, the reaction mixture was cooled, concentrated, diluted with NaHCO3 solution, extracted with DCM, dried with MgSO4 and concentrated to give the end product methyl acetylpropionate.
