Common NameEthyl levulinate
DescriptionEthyl levulinate, also known as ethyl 4-oxovalerate or fema 2442, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma-keto acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing an aldehyde substituted with a keto group on the C4 carbon atom. It is an ester derived from the keto acid levulinic acid. These two synthesis options make ethyl levulinate a viable biofuel option, since both precursors can be obtained from biomass: Levulinic acid from 6-carbon polymerized sugars such as cellulose, and furfural from 5-carbon polymerized sugars such as xylan and arabinan. Ethyl levulinate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Ethyl levulinate is a sweet, berry, and floral tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Ethyl levulinate has been detected, but not quantified in, evergreen blackberries. This could make ethyl levulinate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Ethyl levulinate can also be obtained by reaction between ethanol and furfuryl alcohol. Ethyl levulinate is an organic compound with the formula CH3C(O)CH2CH2C(O)OC2H5.
