Abstract

Abstract : Jet fuel range cycloalkanes were synthesized in high carbon yield (∼76%) with diacetone alcohol which can be obtained from lignocellulose. Abstract : Jet fuel range branched cycloalkanes were first synthesized in high carbon yield (∼76%) with diacetone alcohol which can be derived from lignocellulose. These cycloalkanes have a high density (0.83 g mL −1 ) and a low freezing point (216.5 K). As a potential application, they can be used as additives to conventional bio-jet fuels.
