The reaction proceeds through the sequential transfer hydrogenation and etherification of HMF to 2,5-bis(alkoxymethyl)furan, a potential biodiesel additive, catalyzed by a Lewis acid zeolite, such as Sn-Beta or Zr-Beta. An alcohol is used as a hydrogen donor and as a reactant in etherification. This cascade reaction can selectively produce high yields of the biodiesel additive (>80% yield) from HMF with the Sn-Beta catalyst and secondary alcohols, such as 2-propanol and 2-butanol.
