Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method of electrochemically producing valeric acid.
The method of the invention comprises contacting a solution of levulinic acid with an anode and a cathode in an electrochemical cell; and electrochemically reducing levulinic acid at the cathode to form valeric acid, wherein the cathode comprises one or more materials selected from the group consisting of cadmium, zinc, and indium.
