respectively), affording for the highest ELev yield (up to 75 mol%, Table 2.2) [103]. Neither Y(OTf)₃ nor H₃PO₄ can separately catalyze the conversion of MCC into ELev, and only their combination generates the active catalyst (Table 2.2). Hard Lewis acids, including In(OTf)₃, show moderate activity in this process, which can be marginally improved in combination with p‐toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH), as was noted during the conversion of MCC in methanol (Table 2.2) [101]. Usefully, the conversion of wood‐derived cellulose, obtained after the processing of softwood chips in the biphasic system ChCl/oxalic acid/MIBK (Table 2.1), as disclosed earlier in the text, enabled similarly excellent conversion thereof into ELev in the presence of a combined acid catalyst Y(OTf)₃/H₃PO₄ (Table 2.2) [57]. Such integrated methods that involve different catalytic processes, leading to a range of value‐added chemicals, have significant potential to become commercially viable. Meanwhile, engineering of (preferably) continuous processes requires further laboratory‐ and pilot‐scale research.
