Abstract
A process for preparation of a bicyclic fused-ring alkane. In the presence of a bifunctional solid catalyst, one or more cyclitols undergo a C—C coupling reaction with itself or each other at a temperature and in a nitrogen gas atmosphere, to produce a bicyclic alkane precursor mixture; then, the nitrogen gas is replaced by hydrogen gas, and the bicyclic alkane precursor mixture is hydrogenated or hydrodeoxygenated at a temperature and under a pressure, to produce the bicyclic fused-ring alkane. The proportion of the bicyclic fused-ring alkane in the product as prepared according to the process is not lower than 80 wt %.
Claims3
A process for preparation of a bicyclic fused-ring alkane, comprising:
- producing a bicyclic alkane precursor mixture by a C—C coupling reaction of one or more compounds with itself or each other at a first temperature and in a nitrogen gas atmosphere in presence of a bifunctional solid catalyst;
- then, replacing nitrogen gas of the nitrogen gas atmosphere by hydrogen gas, and hydrogenating or hydrodeoxygenating the bicyclic alkane precursor mixture at a second temperature and under a pressure, to produce the bicyclic fused-ring alkane, wherein
- the one or more compounds is one or more selected from the group consisting of cyclopentanol, methyl cyclopentanol, dimethyl cyclopentanol, ethyl cyclopentanol, propyl cyclopentanol, cyclohexanol, methyl cyclohexanol, dimethyl cyclohexanol, ethyl cyclohexanol, propyl cyclohexanol, cycloheptanol, methyl cycloheptanol, dimethyl cycloheptanol, ethyl cycloheptanol, propyl cycloheptanol and 5-ethyl-3-methyl cycloheptanol,
- the bifunctional solid catalyst is one or more selected from the group consisting of Pd/SAPO, CoMo/HY, Ni/HZSM-5, CuCo/Hβ, Ir/Al-SBA-15, PtNi/Al-SBA-16, Ru/Ti-MCM-41, Pt/H-ZSM-5, PdFe/H-ZSM-5, Au/LaY, Pt/Al-SBA-16 and Pt/Hβ,
- an acidity —H0 of the bifunctional solid catalyst is not lower than 3.5, and the bifunctional solid catalyst is added in an amount from 1 wt % to 20 wt % based on a total weight of reactants of the one or more compounds, and
- the bicyclic fused-ring alkane is decalin or alkyl substituted decalin.
