A simple, inexpensive catalyst system (Amberlyst 15 and Ni/
SiO2–Al2O3) is described for the upgrading of acetone to
a range of chemicals and potential fuels. Stepwise hydrodeoxygenation
of the produced ketones can yield branched alcohols,
alkenes, and alkanes. An analysis of these products is provided,
which demonstrates that this approach can provide a product
profile of valuable bioproducts and potential biofuels.
