Diesel or jet fuel range C10-C17 branched and cyclic alkanes were produced by reaction of 3-pentanone derived from lactic acid with bio-based aldehydes through aldol condensation followed by hydrodeoxygenation. DBU (1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene) was identified as an efficient catalyst for the aldol reaction of 3-pentanone with furan based aldehydes, and the selectivity of single or double aldol condensation product could be easily controlled by adjusting the reaction temperature. For the reaction with aromatic aldehydes, aluminium phosphate demonstrated a higher catalytic activity than DBU and mechanisms were proposed for the difference in the catalytic activity. The final hydrodeoxygenation step could be achieved by using a simple Pd/C + H-beta zeolite system, excellent selectivity was observed under the present system, the clean formation of hydrocarbons with a narrow distribution of alkanes occurred in most cases.

In the transformation of lignocellulosic biomass into fuels and chemicals carboncarbon bond formations and rising hydrophobicity are highly desired. The ketonic decarboxylation fits these requirements perfectly as it converts carboxylic acids into ketones forming one carboncarbon bond and eliminates three oxygen atoms as carbon dioxide and water. This reaction is used, in a cascade process, together with a hydrogenation and dehydration catalyst to obtain hydrocarbons in the kerosene range from hexose-derived valeric acid. It is shown that zirconium oxide is a very selective and stable catalyst for this process and when combined with platinum supported on alumina, the oxygen content was reduced to almost zero. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that alumina is superior to active carbon, silica, or zirconium oxide as support for the hydrogenation/dehydration/hydrogenation sequence and a palladium-based catalyst deactivated more rapidly than the platinum catalyst. Hence, under optimized reaction conditions valeric acid is converted into n-nonane with 80% selectivity (together with a 10% of C10-C15 hydrocarbons) in the organic liquid phase upto a 100:1 feed to catalyst ratio [w/w]. The oxygen free hydrocarbon product mixture (85% yield) meets well with the boiling point range of kerosene as evidenced by a simulated distillation. In the gas phase, butane was detected together with mainly carbon dioxide.

A ferrierite-type layered aluminosilicate, Al-RUB-36, was prepared for the first time and its interlayer expansion resulted in new zeolite catalysts denoted Al-COE-3 and Al-COE-4. Decane hydroconversion tests demonstrated the highly active and shape-selective nature of the new Al-COE-4 catalyst with an unprecedented isomerization yield, highlighting the potential of this material as a hydroisomerization catalyst. This is the first report on achieving shape-selectivity via interlayer expansion. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012.
