Abstract
The invention relates to a method for preparing a chemical compound, comprising subjecting a levulinic acid source, preferably a compound selected from the group of levulinic acid, levulinic acid anhydrides, levulinic acid salts, levulinc acid esters and levulinic acid amides to a reduction reaction catalysed by a metal catalyst on an oxide support, wherein the metal catalyst on a support is obtainable by an metal-ion impregnation method, which metal-ion impregnation method uses an anion-excess, and wherein the metal comprises ruthenium, in particular ruthenium and palladium.
