[EN] COMPOUNDS AND METHODS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LONG CHAIN HYDROCARBONS FROM BIOLOGICAL SOURCES [FR] COMPOSÉS ET PROCÉDÉS DE PRODUCTION D'HYDROCARBURES À CHAÎNE LONGUE À PARTIR DE SOURCES BIOLOGIQUES
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.

The present invention is directed to the preparation of oxygenated, unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds, such as derivatives of furfural or hydroxymethyl furfural produced by aldol condensation with a ketone or a ketoester, as well as methods of deoxidatively reducing those compounds with hydrogen under acidic conditions to provide saturated hydrocarbons useful as fuels.
