The process is directed at making an aliphatic ketone or a mixture of aliphatic ketones having 14 to 52 carbon atoms, comprising a ketonization reaction of a fatty acid in a vapor phase with a decarboxyla- tion-coupling catalyst to provide ketones, which can be deoxygenated give saturated hydrocarbons, unsaturated hydrocarbons, and to mixtures thereof. Base oils and transportation fuels may be produced from the process herein.
