Synthesis of Long Chain Oxygenates via Aldol Condensation of Furfural and Acetone over Metal–Organic Frameworks

were investigated to improve the yield and evaluate the role of the ligand, cluster node, defectiveness, modulator, surface area, and textural properties on the product distribution. We demonstrate the possibility of making long-chain oxygenates without using vegetable oil-derived fatty acids toward 100% waste biomass-derived renewable fuels, lubricants, and surfactants.
