Biomass-to-biomass strategy: sulphonic acid functionalized covalent organic frameworks for metal-free esterification of biomass-derived acids

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: A metal-free sulfonic acid functionalized COF serves as a tunable heterogeneous acid catalyst for selective esterification of bio-based levulinic and succinic acids, yielding 99.7% n -butyl levulinate and tailored succinate esters.
