Abstract:Cyclopentanone (CP), a cyclic hydrocarbon, is a potential biobased platform chemical for the synthesis of highdensity jet fuel range cycloalkanes. The base-catalyzed selfcondensation of CP yields 2-cyclopentylidene cyclopentanone (2-CP) and 2,5-dicyclopentylidene cyclopentanone (3-CP). 2-CP has applications in fuels, fragrances, and flavors, and 3-CP is used as a precursor for diesel-grade products. In this study, solid base activated carbon monolith (ACM)-supported hydrotalcite catalysts (HT/ACM) were synthes… Show more
