Patent ID: 8466330

Claim:
A moderate fraction of a carbohydrate derived component having at least one C 4+ compound wherein: (a) the moderate fraction exhibits: a mean percentage of 99% or more biobased material, as determined by C14 testing; an initial boiling point in the range of from 120 to 215° C.; a final boiling point of up to 320° C.; a density at 15° C. in the range of from 700 to 890 kg/m 3 ; and, a sulfur content of at most 0.1% wt.; and, (b) the moderate fraction comprises: one or more substituted carbohydrate derived cycloalkanes comprising one or more substituent selected from the group consisting of branched C 3-4 alkyls, straight chain C 1-4 alkyls, branched C 3-4 alkylenes, and straight chain C 1-4 alkylenes; one or more carbohydrate derived aromatics, at least some of the carbohydrate derived aromatics comprising one or more substituent selected from the group consisting of branched C 3-4 alkyls, straight chain C 1-4 alkyls, branched C 3-4 alkylenes, and, straight chain C 2-4 alkylenes; and one or more carbohydrate derived compound selected from the group consisting of fused aryls, indane, indene, isomers thereof, and combinations thereof, at least some of the carbohydrate derived compound comprising one or more substituent selected from the group consisting of straight chain C 1-4 alkyls and combinations thereof.
