General description

Valeric acid is a renewable chemical that can be obtained via hydrogenation of levulinic acid in the presence of nickel-based catalyst[1] or from lignocellulosic biomass.[2] It can undergo esterification to form valerate esters, which can find applications as blending agents for gasoline and diesel, used in the production of biofuels.[1]
