Abstract: Renewable 5-methylfurfural was subjected to a ‘green’ base- catalyzed aldol condensation with a variety of ketones to afford the corresponding furan-containing α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with high yields and selectivities. The products obtained can serve as precursors for the long- chained fuel-grade liquid bio-alkanes.

Keywords: plant biomass, biofuels, renewable materials, furan derivatives, 5-methylfurfural, aldol condensation, α,β-enones.
