Claim Text:
1. A method for converting isoprene into fuels, comprising: reacting isoprene with at least one Ziegler-Natta type catalyst based on first metal(s) in the presence of at least one co-catalyst to produce an oligomer mixture of dimers, trimers, and tetramers; hydrogenating said oligomer mixture under a hydrogen atmosphere with at least one heterogeneous catalyst based on second metal(s) at pressures between about 0.1 atmosphere and about 100 atmosphere and at temperatures ranging from about ambient to about 250° C. to produce a substantially or completely saturated hydrocarbon mixture of dimers, trimers, and tetramers; and purifying said hydrocarbon mixture by removing said heterogeneous catalyst to produce substantially or completely saturated fuels.
