A novel carbon-increasing catalytic route via one-pot cascade acylation.alkylation of biomass- derived 2-methylfuran and acetic anhydride over Sn4+-exchanged K-10 montmorillonite (Sn4+-K- 10) was demonstrated to be highly efficient for the production of C17 oxygenate 1,1,1-tris(5- methyl-2-furyl)ethane with a high yield of 87% and 90% selectivity at 60 °C in 8 h under solvent- free conditions. Characterization techniques manifested Sn4+-K-10 to have layered and mesoporous (5.7 nm) texture structure, Lewis.Brønsted acid paired sites and uniformly dispersed Sn species, which greatly contributed to the predominant reactivity and recyclability of Sn4+-K-10. Systematic studies based on GC.MS and NMR were also conducted to elucidate the catalytic mechanism.
