The catalytic esterification of levulinic acid (LA) to methyl levulinate (ML) was investigated using copper molybdate (Cu3(MoO4)2(OH)2) as a heterogeneous catalyst. catalyst, synthesized via chemical precipitation, exhibited monoclinic structure with self-assembled nanoplates forming spherical mesostructures. Structural characterization confirmed its high crystallinity, while textural analysis revealed BET surface area 70.55 m2 g−1 pore sizes in the nanometric range (1–6 nm). performance systematically evaluated under varying reaction conditions, including temperature, catalyst dosage, time, methanol-to-LA molar ratio, alcohol type, and reusability. Optimal conversion 99.3% achieved at 100 °C, 1:20 5% loading, time 4 h. Comparative other catalysts demonstrated superior efficiency stability Cu3(MoO4)2(OH)2, minimal activity loss over four reuse cycles (final 77.1%). Mechanistic insights suggest that is attributed Lewis Brønsted sites, facilitating efficient esterification. This study underscores potential sustainable recyclable for biofuel additive synthesis, advancing green chemistry strategies biomass valorization.
