| Research Abstract |
Sulfonate ionic liquids promoted dehydration of cellulose when their mixture was heated under inert gas stream, which resulted in a selective production of levoglucosenone that is a high-value added chemical. Similar results were obtained even when glucose and its oligomer and polymer were used as the source of levoglucosenone, although cellulose was the most promising starting material. On the basis of knowledge obtained in the experiment, a new and more efficient method for levoglucosenone production was proposed for the study in future.
