Abstract
The invention relation to an efficient, high-throughput method for converting isoprene and α-olefins to sustainable fuels and fuel blendstocks. The method includes coupling biologically-derived isoprene and α-olefins via hydrovinylation to generate heavier acyclic hydrocarbons, and hydrogenating the acyclic hydrocarbons to produce sustainable fuel and fuel blendstocks. The sustainable fuels and fuel blendstocks produced by this method have applications that include use as both aviation and diesel fuels and fuel blendstocks.
