Researchers in China have developed an integrated two-bed continuous flow reactor process for the direct synthesis with high carbon yields (~70%) of dodecanol (C 12 H 26 O) or 2,4,8- trimethylnonane (C 12 H 26 O 2 )—a jet-fuel-range C 12 branched alkane—from methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), which can be derived from lignocellulose.
