Catalytic transfer hydrogenation is effective for the conversion of biomass to liquid fuel. Therefore, catalytic transfer hydrogenation of cellulose was investigated using straight-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent as a hydrogen source.

Cellulose in this solvent is converted into polar components with high-molecular weight at 300°C. The components are changed into ketones with the carbon number >C6 by decomposition and dehydration with aldol-condensation. The ketones are hydrogenated to straight-chain and aromatic hydrocarbons with 7 or more carbon atoms at 350°C.
