Furfural (FF) and 5-(hydroxymethyl) furfural (HMF) are well-recognized biomass-derived
chemical building blocks with established applications and markets for several of their …

The aldol condensation reaction, capable of forming new CC bonds from small molecular
carbonyl compounds, is gaining attention again for biogenic carbon recovery from discarded …

The catalytic transformation of biomass-based furan compounds (furfural and HMF) for the
synthesis of organic chemicals is one of the important ways to utilize renewable biomass …

The conversion of furfural to cyclopentanone (CPO) involves not only hydrogenation but also
acid-catalysis reactions. The step of the acid-catalysis might be catalyzed by Lewis acid or …

One-pot synthesis of imines from benzyl alcohols and anilines by heterogeneous catalysis in
batch reactor has already been widely studied, but its high cost and low production …

Aldol condensation reactions between furfural and various ketones were studied in a flow
reactor at 373 K and 100 psi for application to upgrading of furfural. Specific rates for the …

Heterogeneous zeolite/zeotype catalysts are attractive for converting renewable biomass-
derived chemicals into transportation fuels by aldol condensation reactions, which provide a …

Catalyst deactivation and carbon loss are frequently encountered problems in furfural
conversion in the aqueous phase. Although several mechanisms were proposed, an in …

The production of jet-fuel precursors from furfural via aldol-condensation with methyl-
isobutyl ketone (MIBK) over defect-engineered UiO-66 (Zr) catalysts is presented. The …
