Descripción
Sumario:[EN] A series of organic-inorganic hybrid bifunctional organosiliceous catalysts with accessible pendant amine groups as single basic sites (such as propylamine, diethylamine, pyrrolidine) and Pd nanoparticles was prepared from suitable synthesis processes. Pd/MCM-41 silica decorated with propylamine groups was highly active and selective for the single-reactor tandem aldol condensation/crotonization reaction between furfural with methyl isobutyl ketone, followed by hydrogenation, to access renewable biosolvent and biofuel precursors in the branched alkane range at mild temperature (80¿100 ºC). The catalyst was characterized in detail using XRD, C and N elemental analysis, ICP-OES, TGA/DTA, HR-TEM, N2 adsorption/desorption at 77 K, solid-state 13C and 29Si MAS NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy CO2 as acid probe. The catalyst was robust when operated in a dual fixedbed reactor achieving steady 20 % furfural conversion for 12 h on stream with preferential formation of 1-(furan2-yl)¿ 5-methylhexan-3-one.
