Biomass-derived long-chain alkanes with highly sym. branches, which show comparable properties to traditional petrochem.-based poly-α-olefin (PAO), have great potential economic value for industrial application. In this work, we developed a new strategy to prepare T-type low-viscosity bio-lubricant base oil using inexpensive lipid-derived fatty acid Me esters (FAMEs) as raw materials with a total carbon yield of around 67.3%. The fatty acid Me ester compounds (R1-COOCH3) were converted to fatty alcs. using methanol as the solvent and hydrogen donor over the Cu/SiO2 catalyst. Subsequently, fatty alc. was further brominated to the Bromo-Grignard reagents (R1-CH2-MgBr). In the next step, a T-type synthetic bio-lubricant base oil (R1-C(R2)-R1) was formed by the hydrodeoxygenation of sym. tertiary alc. precursors over Pd/C, where sym. tertiary alc. precursors were obtained via the nucleophilic addition of Bromo-Grignard reagents with fatty acid Me ester (R2-COOCH3). The specific properties of the branched representative bio-lubricant C32 (12’10’10’) are comparable to those of the com. lubricant PAO 3.6. This strategy offered a new promising route for synthesizing high-quality bio-lubricant base oil.
