The catalytic synthesis of liquid alkanes from renewable biomass has received tremendous attention in recent years. However, bio-based platform chemicals have not to date been exploited for the synthesis of highly branched lubricant alkanes, which are currently produced by hydrocracking and hydroisomerization of long-chain n-paraffins. A selective catalytic synthetic route has been developed for the production of highly branched C23 alkanes as lubricant base oil components from biomass-derived furfural and acetone through a sequential four-step process, including aldol condensation of furfural with acetone to produce a C13 double adduct, selective hydrogenation of the adduct to a C13 ketone, followed by a second condensation of the C13 ketone with furfural to generate a C23 aldol adduct, and finally hydrodeoxygenation to give highly branched C23 alkanes in 50.6 % overall yield from furfural. This work opens a general strategy for the synthesis of high-quality lubricant alkanes from renewable biomass.

A novel mesoporous Pd/cobalt aluminate bifunctional catalyst has been synthesized by a facile co-precipitation process and used in aldol condensation of furfural with acetone and the following hydrogenation of condensation products. This kind of bifunctional catalyst has good activity and can be recycled and regenerated easily. Crown Copyright

It was established that the hydrogenation of difurfurylideneacetone on a skeletal Ni-Ti-Al catalyst at atmospheric pressure proceeds nonselectively.The rate of hydrogenation in both aprotic and protic solvents increases as their overall electrophilicity increases.The process is realized selectively under hydrogen pressure.By changing the type of solvent one can obtain a catalyzate enriched in various reaction products.
