Abstract: The dehydrated Ni-Fe hydrotalcite-like compounds (Ni-Fe HTLCs) containing nitrate anions were synthesized and applied in furfural acetalization at room temperature. The dehydrated Ni-Fe HTLCs showed good selectivity for furfural acetalization and achieved almost complete conversion of furfural. The dehydrated Ni-Fe HTLCs as water-tolerant Lewis acids and water scavengers was proved to be an efficient bifunctional catalyst for furfural acetalization. The removal of interlayer water leads to shrinkage of Ni-Fe HTLCs particles and increase in electronic repulsion among NO3- ions in the interlayer. The weak acid sites in Ni-Fe HTLCs play an important role in furfural acetalization. The dehydration changes structure of the acid sites and thus improves activity of the weak acid sites. The dehydrated Ni-Fe HTLCs can absorb the most of the resulting water during furfural acetalization, but the structure of Ni-Fe HTLCs cannot completely recover after rehydration possibly due to hindering effect of organic molecules diffusing into interlayer space.
