Solvent-Free Synthesis of C10 and C11 Branched Alkanes from Furfural and Methyl Isobutyl Ketone

Our best results jet: C10 and C11 branched alkanes, with low freezing points, are synthesized through the aldol condensation of furfural and methyl isobutyl ketone from lignocellulose, which is then followed by hydrodeoxygenation. These jet‐fuel‐range alkanes are obtained in high overall yields (≈90...

Description
Summary:Our best results jet: C10 and C11 branched alkanes, with low freezing points, are synthesized through the aldol condensation of furfural and methyl isobutyl ketone from lignocellulose, which is then followed by hydrodeoxygenation. These jet‐fuel‐range alkanes are obtained in high overall yields (≈90 %) under solvent‐free conditions.
