Abstract
⺠SO3H-functionalized ILs selectively catalyzed cellulose conversion to levulinic acid. ⺠Microwave irradiation improved production of levulinic acid from cellulose. ⺠The highest yield of levulinic acid was 55.0%. ⺠Catalytic activities of SFILs depend on anions. ⺠Further esterification enabled product separation and SFIL recovery.
