Abstract
A new series of heteropolyacids [(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>NCH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>OH]<sub>n</sub>H<sub>5−n</sub>AlW<sub>12</sub>O<sub>40</sub> are used to catalyse the single step conversion of cellulose into levulinic acid (LA). The highest reported yield of LA directly from cellulose was achieved with 74.8% yield and 98.9% conversion in one pot.
