Aldol condensation of furfural with acetone over basic catalysts allows the production of furanic adducts 4-(2-furyl)-3-buten-2-one (FAc, C8) and 1,5-di-2-furanyl-1,4-pentadien-3-one (F₂Ac, C13)) that can be transformed into high-quality diesel fuels by further hydrogenation. However, the development of efficient basic catalysts and understanding of role of basic sites with different strength are still required. In this work, monoclinic and hexagonal La₂O₂CO₃ promoted ZnO-Al₂O₃ catalysts were synthesized with higher concentration of medium strength basic sites and better catalytic performance as compared with La₂O₃ and ZnO-Al₂O₃. This work demonstrated that the medium strength basic sites were especially active for aldol condensation reactions.

在碱性催化剂上糠醛与丙酮的醛醇缩合反应可制得呋喃加合物4-（2-呋喃基）-3-丁烯-2-酮（FAc，C8）和1,5-二-2-呋喃基-1,4-戊二烯-3-酮（F ₂ Ac，C13），可通过进一步加氢转化为优质柴油。但是，仍然需要开发有效的碱性催化剂并了解具有不同强度的碱性位点的作用。在这项工作中，与La ₂ O ₃和ZnO-Al相比，合成了单斜晶和六角形La ₂ O ₂ CO ₃促进的ZnO-Al ₂ O ₃催化剂，具有较高浓度的中等强度碱性位点和更好的催化性能。₂ O ₃。这项工作表明中等强度的碱性位点对于醛醇缩合反应特别活跃。
