Synthesis of Fuel Intermediates from HMF/Fructose

Alkylation of toluene, anisole and mesitylene with HMF and fructose is reported using Glu–Fe 3 O 4 –SO 3 H solid acid catalyst. HMF was found to alkylate toluene, anisole and mesitylene in high yields and high selectivity under solvent free conditions. Polyalkylation and self etherification of HMF w...

Description
Summary:Alkylation of toluene, anisole and mesitylene with HMF and fructose is reported using Glu–Fe 3 O 4 –SO 3 H solid acid catalyst. HMF was found to alkylate toluene, anisole and mesitylene in high yields and high selectivity under solvent free conditions. Polyalkylation and self etherification of HMF was not observed. The alkylated product on hydrodeoxygenation forms liquid alkanes of different chain lengths which have properties of transportation fuels or diesel fuels. The catalyst was easily recoverable and reusable minimum 5 times to achieve good yields and high selectivity of alkylated product. Graphical Abstract
