The synthesis of furoins from biomass-derived furfural and 2-methylfurfural is demonstrated in high yields in green and renewable solvents using N-heterocyclic carbene organocatalysts. The resulting furoin mols. are used as precursors for fuels using cascade catalysis, 1st by using Pd/C with acidic co-catalysts under very mild conditions to yield oxygenated C12 mols. Two main products were formed, which the authors identified as 1,2-bis(5-methylTHF-2-yl)ethane and 1-(5-methylTHF-2-yl)heptanol. The use of a Pd/Zeolite-β catalyst under more extreme conditions resulted in the complete hydrodeoxygenation of 5,5′-dimethylfuroin to dodecanes in high yields (76 %) and exceptional selectivity (94 %) for n-dodecane.
