<p>The invention provides a fuel component, based on or comprising a ring-hydrogenated alkyl furfuryl ether of the general formula (I):
€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ (I)€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒR"-TF-CH2-O-R
wherein TF represents a 2,5-substituted tetrahydrofuran ring, wherein each R independently represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms and wherein each R" independently represents a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, a hydroxymethyl group, the product of an aldol condensation reaction or an alkoxymethyl group of the general formula (II):
€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ (II)€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ-CH2-O-R'
wherein each R' independently represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms. The invention also provides novel and useful ring-hydrogenated alkoxymethyltetrahydrofuran ethers such as 2-(alkoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran, 5-methyl-2-(alkoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran, 5-hydroxymethyl-2-(alkoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran and 2,5-bis(alkoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran of the general formula (I) above. Moreover, these ring-hydrogenated alkoxymethyltetrahydrofuran ethers disclosed herein have never been used as fuel component, and therefore the use of these ethers has also been claimed as an invention. A further embodiment of the current invention is the process for preparing these components. Finally, the use of a 5-(alkoxymethyl)furfural, 2-alkoxymethylfuran and/or a 2,5-bis(alkoxymethyl)furan as hydrogen storage molecules, in particular for fuel purposes is claimed as a further embodiment of the current invention.</p> |
