Researchers from Peking University and SINOPEC have developed a one-post method for the synthesis of C 6+ branched compounds from isopropanol condenstation on Ni/MoC catalysts. The branched-chain selectivity in C 6+ and nonnecessity of H 2 give this route advantage in high-octane gasoline blendstock production. Isopropanol can be derived from lignocellulose, making it a potential biomass platform molecule.
