Title: Catalytic production of renewable lubricant base oils from bio-based 2-alkylfurans and enals

Abstract

Lubricant ranged alkanes of controlled branching and molecular size with excellent yields were synthesized by catalytic conjugate addition-hydroxylalkylation/alkylation (CA-HAA) of biomass derived 2-alkylfurans with enals followed by hydrodeoxygenation.

Renewable lubricants with tailored molecular architecture

Journal Article Liu, Sibao ; Josephson, Tyler R. ; Athaley, Abhay ; ... - Science Advances

We present a strategy to synthesize three types of renewable lubricant base oils with up to 90% yield using 2-alkylfurans, derived from nonfood biomass, and aldehydes, produced from natural oils or biomass through three chemistries: hydroxyalkylation/alkylation (HAA), HAA followed by hydrogenation, and HAA followed by hydrodeoxygenation. These molecules consist of (i) furan rings, (ii) saturated furan rings, and (iii) deoxygenated branched alkanes. The structures of these molecules can be tailored in terms of carbon number, branching length, distance between branches, and functional groups. The site-specific, energy-efficient C–C coupling chemistry in oxygenated biomass compounds, unmatched in current refineries, provides tailored structuremore »« less

Lignin monomer conversion into biolubricant base oils

Journal Article Ebikade, Elvis Osamudiamhen ; Sadula, Sunitha ; Liu, Sibao ; ... - Green Chemistry

Despite progress in the depolymerization of lignin, only a few studies convert the obtained monomers to value-added products. Here we introduce a strategy to synthesize branched benzene lubricant (BBL) and branched cyclic lubricant (BCL) base oils from lignin-derived monomers and aldehyde. We perform carbon–carbon coupling via Brønsted acid-catalyzed hydroxyalkylation/alkylation (HAA) then hydrodeoxygenation (HDO). Optimum HAA reaction conditions achieve up to 90% guaiacol conversion and an HAA product containing 76% BBL and 24% enal condensation product over a P-SiO₂ catalyst. Subsequent HDO of HAA products over an Ir-ReO_x/SiO₂ catalyst produces a lubricant-ranged mixture of BCL (C₂₄) up to yield (82%) andmore »« less

Thiol-promoted catalytic synthesis of high-performance furan-containing lubricant base oils from biomass derived 2-alkylfurans and ketones

Journal Article Liu, Sibao ; Bhattacharjee, Rameswar ; Li, Sha ; ... - Green Chemistry

About 97% of lubricant base oils are currently sourced from petroleum and the majority of the rest is produced from vegetable oils. We demonstrate a promising catalytic route to produce base oils from lignocellulosic biomass-derived 2-alkylfurans and ketones via carbon–carbon coupling in neat conditions. Among several homogeneous and heterogeneous acid catalysts tested, a perfluorinated sulfonic acid (Aquivion PW79S) exhibits the best catalytic performance and yields up to 90% renewable furan-containing base oils with the use of a thiol promotor.

Branched Bio-Lubricant Base Oil Production through Aldol Condensation

Journal Article Norton, Angela M. ; Liu, Sibao ; Saha, Basudeb ; ... - ChemSusChem

Currently, lubricant base oils are derived from petroleum, a nonrenewable feedstock that contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Bioderived, renewable lubricant base oils can mitigate environmental challenges and offer superior cold flow properties by incorporating branches to the base oil's hydrocarbon backbone with an appropriate synthetic strategy. A strategy was developed to synthesize branched alkanes for lubricant base oil in two steps from 12-tricosanone, obtained from bioderived fatty acids, and furfural, obtained from lignocellulosic biomass. The reaction pathway involves carbon–carbon coupling through aldol condensation followed by hydrodeoxygenation (HDO). Various solvents (non-polar, aprotic and polar, protic) and reaction conditions were screened tomore »« less
