Value‐added chemicals from sugars : Sulfonic acid‐functionalized ionic liquids are attractive and promising catalyst for the conversion of sugars to ethyl levulinate and ethyl‐ D ‐glucopyranoside in ethanol. These task‐specific ionic liquids can be recovered and reused in at least three cycles in the conversion of fructose to ethyl levulinate without any loss of activity.
