Abstract

The development of fermentation engineering makes isopropanol derived from lignocellulose a potential biomass platform molecule. Here we report the one-pot synthesis of C₆₊ branched compounds from isopropanol condensation on Ni/MoC catalysts. The ideal branched-chain selectivity in C₆₊ and nonnecessity of H₂ make this route advantageous in high-octane gasoline blendstock production.
