Abstract

The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into fuel precursors offers a promising and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fuel production, which often poses risks and contributes to carbon emissions. Furfural stands out in this context due to its high value and reactivity, presenting opportunities to enhance sustainable fuel production. With increasing demand for fuel precursors in aviation and road transportation, recent research has focused on CC coupling reactions, notably aldol condensation and hydroxyalkylation–alkylation (HAA), to transform furfural and 2-methylfuran into fuel-range alkanes. This review summarizes recent advancements in these reactions, particularly those involving furfural and 2-methylfuran derived from furfural hydrogenation. By exploring the potential and limitations of these processes, this review aims to provide insights into their role in cleaner, more efficient fuel production. Additionally, as technology progresses, it is crucial to highlight emerging innovations in furfural and 2-methylfuran coupling reactions, which could redefine energy production by offering cleaner and less energy-intensive solutions. This review will discuss these technologies, paving the way for future research and development in the quest for sustainable energy alternatives.

糠醛及其衍生物通过C - γ - C偶联反应转化为绿色运输燃料和前驱体的研究进展

将木质纤维素生物质转化为燃料前体是传统燃料生产的一种有前景且环保的替代方法，而传统燃料生产通常会带来风险并导致碳排放。糠醛因其高价值和反应性而在这方面脱颖而出，为提高可持续燃料生产提供了机会。随着航空和公路运输对燃料前体的需求不断增加，近年来的研究重点是C -羟基- C偶联反应，特别是醛醇缩合和羟基烷基化-烷基化（HAA）反应，将糠醛和2-甲基呋喃转化为燃料范围的烷烃。本文综述了这些反应的最新进展，特别是涉及糠醛和由糠醛加氢衍生的2-甲基呋喃的反应。通过探索这些过程的潜力和局限性，本文旨在深入了解它们在更清洁、更高效的燃料生产中的作用。此外，随着技术的进步，强调糠醛和2-甲基呋喃偶联反应的新兴创新是至关重要的，这可以通过提供更清洁、更低能耗的解决方案来重新定义能源生产。本文将讨论这些技术，为未来的研究和开发寻找可持续的替代能源铺平道路。
