This study presents results on aldol condensation of furfural and cyclohexanone in presence of Mg-Al hydrotalcite-derived materials as solid basic catalysts at reaction temperature from 25 to 90 st. C and cyclohexanone to furfural molar ratio of 1-10. Mg-Al mixed oxide exhibited reasonable activity with furfural conversion of ca. 50% after 180 min of the reaction at T=90 st. C. The activity of reconstructed hydrotalcite was much higher with furfural conversion close to 100% at short reaction times. In comparison with Mg-Al mixed oxide, the initial reaction rate has increased 30-50 times. At similar reaction conditions cyclohexanone self-condensation on HTC-derived catalysts could not compete with aldol condensation because the former reaction was inhibited by produced water. The change in CH/F molar ratio influenced both furfural conversion and product selectivity, higher furfural content in the reaction mixture favored the second condensation step.
