Abstract

We prepared hydroxyapatite-supported tin(II) chloride and tin(IV) chloride Lewis acid catalysts. These catalysts showed catalytic activity for the transformation of trioses in alcohols to yield alkyl lactates. Under optimal conditions, n-butyl lactate was obtained in 73.5% yield when dihydroxyacetone and n-butanol were treated with hydroxyapatite-supported tin(II) chloride.
