The invention relates to a method for the production of a liquid fuel with a high alkylcyclohexane content and a low oxygenated compound content, comprising at least: a first step of alkylation of an alkylbenzene which is preferably mono, di, tri or tetra-substituted with at least one furan alcohol of formula 1 in the presence of at least one heterogeneous acid catalyst where R 1 is H, hydroxymethyl, formyl, acetyl or an aliphatic or aromatic o heteroaromatic radical, R 2 is H or an aliphatic or aromatic o heteroaromatic radical, and R 3 is H or an aliphatic or aromatic o heteroaromatic radical; and a second step of catalytic hydrogenation and dehydration of the compound obtained in the first step, a), in the presence of hydrogen, using suitable hydrogenation and dehydration catalysts. |
