General description

γ-valerolactone (GVL) is found naturally in fruits and often used as a fuel additive and food ingredient. It is prominently employed in the production of both energy and carbon-based products.[1][2]

Application

γ-valerolactone (GVL) can be used as a green solvent:
  • To transform lignocellulose into furfural using a solid acid catalyst, H-mordenite.[3]
  • To synthesize phosphatidylserine.[2]
