摘要:The multifunctional groups of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) make it could extend carbon chain by different C-C coupling reactions and extensively applied in the bio-jet fuel synthesis. Herein, one-pot reaction of lignocellulose derived chemicals with 5-HMF was studied by experimental and density functional theory (DFT) methods. The kinetic models of products were established and the apparent activation energies of the products by C-C coupling reaction of phenol, anisole, guaiacol, cyclohexanone and acetone with 5-HMF on H beta were 95.3 kJ/mol, 104.8 kJ/mol, 90.4 kJ/mol, 90.0 kJ/mol and 112.2 kJ/mol, indicating these reactions centering on 5-HMF competitive intensively. Then the effects of the catalysis were analyzed by applying commercial catalysis to the mixed coupling reaction of 5-HMF. It was found that Br & oslash;nsted acid is more favorable to alkylation reaction, and Lewis acid is more beneficial to aldol condensation reaction. By Fukui function, due to the nucleophilic index of cyclohexanone (2.74 eV) is higher than that (2.48 eV) of acetone, and the Mulliken electronegativity (3.43 eV) is weaker than that (3.55 eV) of acetone, cyclohexanone is more conducive than acetone to the aldol condensation reaction. This work provides data reference for product regulation in the bio-jet fuel synthesis.
