Production of jet fuel-range hydrocarbon biofuel by hydroxyalkylation–alkylation of furfural with 2-methylfuran and hydrodeoxygenation of C 15 fuel precursor over a Ni/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst: a reaction mechanism

A comprehensive reaction mechanism for hydrodeoxygenation of the C 15 -fuel precursor, which proceeds via ring hydrogenation, ring opening, dehydroformylation, and hydrodeoxygenation reactions.
