Article Synopsis
- The study explores the aldol-condensation of furfural and cyclopentanone, aiming to create a high-quality fuel precursor (2,5-bis(2-furylmethylidene)cyclopentan-1-one) through an efficient catalytic process.
- Potassium fluoride (KF) on alumina was identified as the most effective catalyst, achieving a remarkable 95.4% yield of the desired product under optimal conditions.
- Reaction parameters such as KF loading, solvent, time, and temperature were analyzed, leading to a final product that is nearly pure FC, suitable for further biofuel processing.
