NOVELTY - Making a greater than 4C compound involves: providing water and water soluble oxygenated hydrocarbon comprising greater than 1C and greater than one oxygen hydrocarbon in aqueous liquid phase and/or vapor phase; providing hydrogen (H2); reacting in liquid and/or vapor phase oxygenated hydrocarbon with H2 in presence of deoxygenation catalyst at deoxygenation temperature and pressure to produce oxygenate comprising greater than 1C and 1-3 oxygen hydrocarbon; and reacting it in the liquid and/or vapor phase in presence of condensation catalyst at condensation temperature and pressure.    USE - For making a greater than 4C compound i.e. greater than 4C alcohol, greater than 4C ketone, greater than 4C alkane, greater than 4C alkene, greater than 5C cycloalkane, greater than 5C cycloalkene, aryl and/or fused aryl, useful in a composition (claimed) e.g. liquid fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel, diesel or industrial chemicals. Also useful as industrial chemicals, as chemical intermediates for the product of plastics and other products; and as solvents in industrial processes. Greater than 4C alkanes and alkenes include, e.g. butane, pentane, pentene, 2-methylbutane, hexane, hexane, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, 2,2- dimethylbutane, 2,3-dimethylbutane, heptane, heptene, octane, octene, 2,2,4,- trimethylpentane. Greater than 5C cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes include, e.g., cyclopentane, cyclopentene, cyclohexane, cyclohexene, methyl-cyclopentane, methyl-cyclopentene, ethyl-cyclopentane, ethyl-cyclopentene, ethyl-cyclohexane, ethyl-cyclohexene. Aryls include, e.g. benzene, toluene, xylene (dimethylbenzene), ethyl benzene, para xylene, meta xylene, ortho xylene. Fused aryls include, e.g. naphthalene, anthracene, tetrahydronaphthalene, decahydronaphthalene, indane, indene. Greater than 4C alcohols include, e.g. butanol, pentanol, hexanol, heptanol, octanol, nonanol, decanol, undecanol, dodecanol, tridecanol, tetradecanol, pentadecanol, hexadecanol, heptyldecanol, octyldecanol, nonyldecanol, eicosanol, uneicosanol, doeicosanol, trieicosanol, tetraeicosanol. Greater than 4C ketones include, e.g. butanone, pentanone, hexanone, heptanone, octanone, nonanone, decanone, undecanone, dodecanone, tridecanone, tetradecanone, pentadecanone, hexadecanone, heptyldecanone, octyldecanone, nonyldecanone, eicosanone, uneicosanone, doeicosanone, trieicosanone, tetraeicosanone.    ADVANTAGE - The method does not depend on microorganisms, enzymes or other expensive and delicate manufacturing processes and it converts biomass to hydrocarbon fuels having a greater amount of energy content than ethanol, and with lower energy consumption as part of the manufacturing process. The greater than 4C compounds are derived from biomass components using catalytic processes instead of microorganisms, enzymes, high temperature gasification or transesterification methods. The method also generates hydrogen in situ to avoid reliance on external hydrogen sources, such as hydrogen generated from the steam reforming of natural gas, or the electrolysis or thermolysis of water. The method generates water, which can be recycled and used in upstream processes or returned to the environment. The method is also able to generate non-condensable fuel gases for purposes of providing a heat source within the reactor system or for external processes.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Making a greater than 4C compound involves: providing water and a water soluble oxygenated hydrocarbon comprising a greater than 1C and greater than one oxygen hydrocarbon in an aqueous liquid phase and/or a vapor phase; providing hydrogen (H2); catalytically reacting in the liquid and/or vapor phase the oxygenated hydrocarbon with the H2 in the presence of a deoxygenation catalyst at a deoxygenation temperature and deoxygenation pressure to produce an oxygenate comprising greater than 1C and 1-3 oxygen hydrocarbon in a reaction stream; and catalytically reacting in the liquid and/or vapor phase the oxygenate in the presence of a condensation catalyst at a condensation temperature and condensation pressure to produce greater than 4C compound. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a composition comprising the greater than 4C compound.
