     aldol condensations between sugar-derived dehydrated aldehydes (e.g. furfural) and acetone have been proposed as a route to provide useful biomass-derived chemicals. in the quest of sustainable catalytic ways for such aldol condensations, this paper assesses the use of dried chitosan-gels as naturally-immobilized, readily available and non-hazardous amino-based organocatalysts. at room temperature chitosan dried gels are not suitable catalysts for the desired reaction. however, at higher temperatures (>90 °c) reaction proceeds efficiently either in solvent-free systems (with addition of catalytic amounts of water) or in water. the set-up of closed reactor set-ups (thermoshakers or microwave reactions) proved highly beneficial for the reaction outcome. furthermore, chitosan dried gels were successfully re-used for a number of cycles. an efficient catalyst drying method (either lyophilization or scco2 drying) was crucial to achieve virtually full conversions in 4 h. after pertinent further process optimization, dried chitosan-gels may become very useful catalysts for their use in biomass-based reactions in biorefineries.
