Production of renewable oleo-furan surfactants by cross-ketonization of biomass-derived furoic acid and fatty acids

Synthesis of 2-dodecanoyl furan is a crucial step in the formulation of oleo-furan sulfonates as bio-surfactants from biomass-derived furans and vegetable-oil-derived molecules. Herein, cross-ketonization of 2-furoic acid and lauric acid is proposed to produce the bio-surfactant precursor. Among the commonly reported metal oxide ketonization catalysts, the inexpensive and abundant iron oxides are demonstrated as effective and recyclable catalysts, enabling up to 77% selectivity to 2-dodecanoyl furan at 56% lauric acid conversion. Catalyst characterization by X-ray diffraction, H2temperature-programmed reduction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates that Fe3O4is the catalytically active and stable phase.13C isotopic tracing experiments suggest that cross-ketonization on Fe3O4proceedsviaa β-keto acid intermediate.

PROCESS FOR THE CATALYTIC DECARBOXYLATIVE CROSS-KETONIZATION OF ARYL AND ALIPHATIC CARBOXYLIC ACID

The present invention pertains to a process for the cross-ketonization (Piria reaction) between an aryl carboxylic acid and an aliphatic carboxylic acid using a metal-based compound and a slight or a moderate excess of aryl carboxylic acid. A good selectivity, up to 99 mol %, can be achieved. The aryl aliphatic ketone can be used for the preparation of surfactants and other downstream products.
