Cover Feature: Sustainable Continuous Flow Valorization of γ‐Valerolactone with Trioxane to α‐Methylene‐γ‐Valerolactone over Basic Beta Zeolites (ChemSusChem 12/2019)

Abstract

The Front Cover shows a sustainable continuous‐flow process for upgrading lignocellulosic‐biomass‐derived γ‐valerolactone to α‐methylene‐γ‐valerolactone by utilizing a tailored Cs‐loaded hierarchical beta catalyst. This work provides an alternative route in the GVL biorefinery towards bio‐based polymer.
