Abstract
⺠Regioselectivity of the initial protonation of sugars determines selectivity of their conversion. ⺠Favorable protonation of fructose opens path to levulinic acid via HMF intermediate. ⺠Favorable protonation of glucose leads to reversion products and humin precursors. ⺠Novel direct mechanism of glucose transformation to levulinic acid is reported.
