Preparative amounts of furfuryl alcohol ethers and furfural acetals were prepared from renewable vegetable raw materials. The blending reseach octane numbers of mixing of furan derivatives in straight-run gasoline were estimated: butyl furfuryl ether, 97.8 ± 7; propyl furfuryl ether, 112 ± 6; furfural diethyl acetal, 105 ± 6, furfural ethylene glycol acetal, 108 ± 7; furfurylamine, 194 ± 4. These results demonstrate prospects for using furan derivatives as available biofuels.
Indium(III) triflate promoted synthesis of alkyl levulinates from furyl alcohols and furyl aldehydes

A facile protocol for the alcoholysis of furfuryl alcohol into levulinate esters has been developed employing low catalyst loadings of indium(III) triflate. This method provides a rapid and efficient route for the synthesis of these useful materials. The alcoholysis reactions of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), furfural and furfural dimethylacetal were also investigated under these reaction conditions.
CATALYST AND CATALYTIC PROCESS FOR THE ETHERIFICATION/REDUCTION OF FURFURYL DERIVATIVES TO TETRAHYDROFURFURYL ETHERS
-
Paragraph 0094, (2015/11/16)
The invention relates to a method for producing tetrahydrofurfuryl ethers, characterised in that it involves carrying out consecutive etherification/reduction reactions based on a compound containing at least one furan ring, in the presence of at least one alcohol and at least one catalyst, optionally in the presence of H2. The catalytic process can be carried out in a cascade reaction ("one-pot"), operating under soft reaction conditions and without a solvent.
