Production of liquid fuels (sylvan-liquid-fuels) from 2-methylfuran

摘要

The present invention describes a procedure for the production of liquid fuel having a content high in alkanes and low in oxygenated compounds, comprising as a minimum: a first step of alkylation of 2-methylfuran (commonly denominated Sylvan) with a furan alcohol 2 having the formula: (2), wherein R1 is H or an aliphatic or aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety, R2 is H or an aliphatic or aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety, and R3 is H, hydroxymethyl or an aliphatic or aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety, in the presence of a catalyst, a second step of hydrogenation and dehydration of the compound obtained in step 1 in the presence of hydrogen, utilizing suitable hydrogenation and dehydration catalysts.
