New efficient biphasic catalytic process for conversion of biomass to dense jet-range fuels

Green Car Congress

g mL −1 ) cycloalkanes in the jet-fuel range with a high overall yield (∼ 80%) by aldol-condensation of cyclopentanone and butanal followed by hydrodeoxygenation (HDO). 1,8-cineole is readily converted to p-menthane, which is a C 10 cycloalkane in the jet fuel range. For instance, Huber and coworkers synthesized high-density (0.82
