Title: Compounds and methods for the production of long chain hydrocarbons from biological sources

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1303753
; ; ; ; ; ; ;

The present invention is directed to the preparation of oxygenated, unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds, such as derivatives of furfural or hydroxymethyl furfural produced by aldol condensation with a ketone or a ketoester, as well as methods of deoxidatively reducing those compounds with hydrogen under acidic conditions to provide saturated hydrocarbons useful as fuels.
