Cover Feature: Transforming Methyl Levulinate into Biosurfactants and Biolubricants by Chemoselective Reductive Etherification with Fatty Alcohols (ChemSusChem 4/2020)

The Cover Feature shows that biosurfactants and biolubricants can be produced by reaction of lignocellulose-derived methyl levulinate and ketones with fatty alcohols in the presence of hydrogen and Pd nanoparticles. More information can be found in the Full Paper by A. Garcia-Ortiz et al. on page 707 in Issue 4, 2020 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201903496).
