Method of synthesizing chemical industry raw materials and fuel compositions

Abstract

The present invention is to provide a novel method for manufacturing various organic compounds from 2 or more kinds of alcohol, or 1 kind of alcohol having 3 or more carbon atoms. It is a method for synthesizing 1 kind of, or 2 or more kinds of organic compounds comprising allowing 2 or more kinds of alcohol or 1 kind of alcohol having 3 or more carbon atoms to contact hydroxyapatite (except those supporting metal catalysts or metal ion catalysts acting on alcohol).

1 . A method for synthesizing 1 or more kinds of organic compounds comprising allowing 2 or more kinds of alcohols to contact hydroxyapatite, wherein the hydroxyapatite does not support a metal catalyst or metal ion catalyst that acts on alcohols. 
   
   
       2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein at least 1 of the 2 or more kinds of alcohols is methanol or ethanol. 
   
   
       3 . The method according to  claim 2 , comprising allowing ethanol and a linear alcohol other than ethanol to contact hydroxyapatite to synthesize a linear alcohol having 3 or more carbon atoms. 
   
   
       4 . The method according to  claim 3 , wherein the linear alcohol other than ethanol is methanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 1-octanol, or unsaturated alcohols thereof. 
   
   
       5 . The method according to  claim 3 , wherein the yield of the synthesized linear alcohol is 3 C-mol % or more. 
   
   
       6 . The method according to  claim 2 , comprising allowing methanol and an alcohol having 3 or more carbon atoms to contact hydroxyapatite to synthesize a branched-chain alcohol. 
   
   
       7 . The method according to  claim 6 , wherein the alcohol having 3 or more carbon atoms is a linear alcohol. 
   
   
       8 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the linear alcohol is 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 1-octanol, or unsaturated alcohols thereof. 
   
   
       9 . A method for synthesizing 1 or more kinds of organic compounds, comprising allowing 1 kind of alcohol having 3 or more carbon atoms to contact hydroxyapatite, wherein the hydroxyapatite does not support a metal catalyst or metal ion catalyst that acts on alcohols. 
   
   
       10 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the alcohol having 3 or more carbon atoms is propanol, butanol, pentanol, hexanol, heptanol, octanol, or unsaturated alcohols thereof. 
   
   
       11 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the 1 or more kinds of organic compounds comprise a fuel composition. 
   
   
       12 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the reaction is conducted at 200-600° C. 
   
   
       13 . A method for synthesizing 1 or more kinds of organic compounds comprising allowing 2 or more kinds of alcohols to contact hydrotalcite. 
   
   
       14 . The method according to  claim 13 , comprising allowing ethanol and a linear alcohol other than ethanol to contact hydrotalcite to synthesize a linear alcohol having 3 or more carbon atoms. 
   
   
       15 . The method according to  claim 14 , wherein the linear alcohol other than ethanol is methanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 1-octanol, or unsaturated alcohols thereof. 
   
   
       16 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the 1 or more kinds of organic compounds comprise a fuel composition. 
   
   
       17 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the 1 or more kinds of organic compounds comprise a fuel composition. 
   
   
       18 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein the 1 or more kinds of organic compounds comprise a fuel composition. 
   
   
       19 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the reaction is conducted at 200-600° C.
