Elif I. Gürbüz,Jean Marcel R. Gallo,David Martin Alonso,Stephanie G. Wettstein,Wee Y. Lim,James A. Dumesic +5 more
TL;DR: The aforementioned difficulties associated with the conversion of xylose into furfural can be alleviated by using gvalerolactone (GVL) as a solvent in a monophasic system with solid acid catalysts, and GVL is a solvent which can be produced from lignocellulose, and Horvath and coworkers have been strong proponents for the use of GVL as an solvent in biomass processing.

Food Versus Biofuels: Environmental and Economic Costs
David Pimentel,Alison Marklein,Megan A. Toth,Marissa Karpoff,Gillian S. Paul,Robert McCormack,Joanna Kyriazis,Tim Krueger +7 more
TL;DR: The use of food crops such as corn grain to produce ethanol raises major nutritional and ethical concerns as discussed by the authors, and the need for grains and other basic foods is critical, as nearly 60% of the world population is currently malnourished.
Catalytic upgrading of levulinic acid to 5-nonanone
TL;DR: Aqueous solutions of levulinic acid can be catalytically processed, through the intermediate formation of γ-valerolactone (GVL), to an organic liquid stream that spontaneously separates from water, and is enriched in pentanoic acid and 5-nonanone as discussed by the authors.
