“…The hydrogenation of furfural to cyclopentanone, for the efficient utilisation of biomass-derived chemicals has been presented [83]; cyclopentanone is a versatile chemical compound that finds numerous applications in several industries such as in the pharmaceuticals and rubber sector [84]. Furthermore, recent past studies, has demonstrated the production of high yield diesel and jet fuel range alkanes from furfural, reinforcing the opportunities and possibilities that furan-based chemicals afford us in the quest for sustainable chemical feedstock, fuel and energy [85,86].…”

Whether it is in the textiles, paints and coatings, energy sector, polymers, plastics, woods, sugar chemistry, pharmacy, aerospace and the automotive industries, the multiplicity of applications of furans and their derivatives, have made steady, impressive, and progressive impacts over the last 9 decades. After World War II, due to the shift in focus towards the petroleum-based chemical feedstocks, research, and development studies of these impressive class of lignocellulosic-derived chemicals, slowed down markedly. The trend, however, has reversed remarkably in recent time, due to the pursuit for "green" and sustainable chemical feedstocks, coupled with the increasing concerns over climate change, volatile oil prices and the attendant undesirable environmental issues, associated with fossil hydrocarbons. Chemicals obtained from "green" inedible lignocellulosic biomass, such as: the furans and their derivatives, ranks amongst the most promising, sustainable, and industrially applicable alternatives to various petroleum-derived chemicals; further offering an enormous assortment of unique compounds/materials, and properties analogous to and even exceeding those derived from fossil hydrocarbons. This article reviews selected progresses, so far made, in the field of furans and its derivatives and their application portfolios; while recognising the immense contributions of Peters and Dunlop, who in no small measures, advanced the furan chemical industry during their research efforts at the Oat Hull Research Centre at the Quaker Oats Company, Cedar Rapids, USA.

“… 115 Cycloalkanes were produced in two steps in ∼84.8% overall carbon yield starting from CPN and FF. 116 In the initial step, 2,5-di(furylmethyl)cyclopentanone (DFMCPN) was prepared in a 98.5% yield by the aldol condensation/hydrogenation reaction of CPN and FF using Pd/C–CaO as a solid bifunctional base as well as a hydrogenation catalyst. In the final step, DFMCPN was subjected to HDO chemistry over the Pd/H-ZSM-5 catalyst under solvent-free conditions to provide cycloalkanes in 86.1% yield.…”

Furfural (FF) and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) are well-recognized biomass-derived chemical building blocks with established applications and markets for several of their derivatives. Attaining a wide spectrum of petrochemicals is the primary target of a biorefinery that employs FF and HMF as the chemical feedstock. In this regard, cyclopentanone (CPN) is a crucial petrochemical intermediate used for synthesizing a diverse range of compounds with immense commercial prospects. The hydrogenative ring rearrangement of FF to CPN in an aqueous medium under catalytic hydrogenation conditions was first reported in 2012, whereas the first report on the catalytic conversion of HMF to 3-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentanone (HCPN) was published in 2014. Over the past decade, several investigations have been undertaken in converting FF and HMF to CPN and HCPN, respectively. The research studies aimed to improve the scalability, selectivity, environmental footprint, and cost competitiveness of the process. A blend of theoretical and experimental studies has helped to develop efficient, inexpensive, and recyclable heterogeneous catalysts that work under mild reaction conditions while providing excellent yields of CPN and HCPN. The time is ripe to consolidate the data in this area of research and analyze them rigorously in a review article. This work will assist both beginners and experts of this field in acknowledging the accomplishments to date, recognize the challenges, and strategize the way forward.

“…Highdensity biofuel was synthetized using hydroxyl alkylation/ alkylation of cyclopentanone/cyclohexanone and furfural. Wei Wang, et al, [13][14][15][16][17] reported renewable diesel were obtained with 2methylfuran and angelica lactone under catalysts for the reaction include Naon212, Amberlyst-36 and Amberlyst-15 resin. However, the high cost of Naon212 resins may limit their use in industrial scale.…”
