An efficient one-pot catalytic cascade sequence has been developed for the production of value-added ethers from bioderived aldehydes. Etherification of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural with different aliphatic alcohols over acidic Zr-montmorillonite (Zr-Mont) catalyst produced a mixture of 5-(alkoxymethyl)furfural and 2-(dialkoxymethyl)-5-(alkoxymethyl)furan. The latter was selectively converted back into 5-(alkoxymethyl)furfural by treating it with water over the same catalyst. The synthesis of 2,5-bis(alkoxymethyl)furan was achieved through a cascade sequence involving etherification, transfer hydrogenation, and re-etherification over a combination of acidic Zr-Mont and the charge-transfer hydrogenation catalyst [ZrO(OH)(2)]. This catalyst combination was further explored for the cascade conversion of 2-furfuraldehyde into 2-(alkoxymethyl)furan. The scope of this strategy was then extended for the reductive etherification of lignin-derived arylaldehydes to obtain the respective benzyl ethers in >80% yield. Additionally, the mixture of Zr-Mont and ZrO(OH)(2) does not undergo mutual destruction, which was proved by recycling experiments and XRD analysis. Both the catalysts were thoroughly characterized using BET, temperature-programmed desorption of NH3 and CO2, pyridine-FTIR, XRD, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques.
