Herein, a novel route for the production of renewable hydrocarbon jet fuels from the biomass-derived platform chemicals furfural and 2,3-butanediol (BD) was developed. Carbonaceous solid acids bearing -SO 3 H groups were prepared from biomass or its isolated polymeric components to catalyze the dehy...
