Disclosed herein is the production of saturated alkyl esters or acids from furan materials. The starting compounds contain furan, ketone, and ester or acid functional groups and may be biologically-derived. The method includes hydrogenating the starting compound to form a reduced mixture. The method further includes hydrodeoxygenation of the reduced mixture to yield a saturated alkyl ester or acid. The saturated alkyl ester or acid can be unbranched or branched. The ester and acid products have a wide variety of applications and may be further processed into surfactants, solvents, and lubricants suitable for use in consumer products.
本文揭示了从呋喃材料生产饱和脂肪酸酯或酸的方法。起始化合物含有呋喃、酮和酯或酸官能团,并且可以是生物来源的。该方法包括对起始化合物进行加氢反应以形成还原混合物。该方法进一步包括对还原混合物进行脱氧反应,以产生饱和脂肪酸酯或酸。饱和脂肪酸酯或酸可以是直链或支链的。酯和酸产品具有广泛的应用,并且可以进一步加工成适用于消费品中的表面活性剂、溶剂和润滑剂。
