Key Points

TMF-diesel blends showed improved engine performance and reduced emissions under various conditions.
Analysis of physicochemical properties highlighted TMF's compatibility with diesel fuel for effective combustion.
The synthesis of TMF from biomass and petroleum feedstocks indicates a promising route for renewable fuel additives.
Engine tests demonstrated that TMF can enhance diesel quality while minimizing environmental impact.

Implication

Engine studies reveal enhanced performance of TMF-diesel blends, implying potential for cleaner emissions.

Abstract

5-(Tolylmethyl)furfural (TMF) was synthesized from carbohydrate-derived 5-(acetoxymethyl)furfural and petroleum-derived toluene. The physicochemical properties, engine performance, and emission analyses of TMF-diesel blends were studied.
