The glycerides are exposed to catalysts that are stable under the conditions present in the reaction zones during conversion of glycerides to fatty ketones via a coupling reaction in the presence of a first catalyst, and the subsequent deoxygenation and isomerization of the ketones in the presence of a second dewaxing catalyst. The glyceride-containing feedstock can further in - elude free fatty acids or fatty acid derivatives that can also be used for formation of ketones and subsequent deoxygenation and iso - merization. In some configuration, the processing can occur in single reaction zone containing mixed a beds of the first and second catalyst. Such configurations can be used to control the ratio of diesel boiling range molecules versus lubricant boiling range mo - lecules generated by the methods.
