10/01/2018 - "A small amount of water could facilitate the conversion of glucose to LGA and suppress the dehydration of LGA to levoglucosenone. "
02/04/2008 - "Formation of the dehydration products such as levoglucosenone, furfural, and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural were also effectively inhibited. "
04/05/2019 - "Herein, the use of chromium-tanned leather as a heterogeneous catalyst for glucose dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) and levoglucosenone (LGO) is reported. "
05/31/2019 - "The observed synchrotron FTIR spectral features provided evidence for acceleration of catalytic dehydration of cellulose and lignocellulose to levoglucosenone and furans. "
01/01/2017 - "Acid-catalyzed cellulose dehydration in tetrahydrofuran (THF)/H2O produces a mixture of levoglucosenone (LGO) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which are converted with hydrogen to tetrahydrofuran-dimethanol (THFDM). "

05/14/2020 - "Interestingly, the presence of levoglucosenone in glycomimetic 3 imparted a strong inhibitory activity toward the tumor associated hCA IX (K I of 35.9 nM)."
01/01/2022 - "Two of the four compounds (levoglucosenone and its brominated variant) were able to modulate in vitro events associated with tumor progression, such as migratory potential, invasiveness, and proteases secretion. "
