  1. Reaction conditions: T = 400 °C, PH2 = 0.1 MPa, weight hour space velocity (WHSV) = 0.23 (g g−1 h−1), the initial H2/MCP molar ratio = 40, liquid products were collected after the reaction was carried out under investigated conditions for 3 h.
  2. aTcalcination: the calcination temperature used in the preparation of catalyst.
  3. bSMCPD: Selectivity of methylcyclopentadiene. SMCPE: Selectivity of methylcyclopentene. SMCPO: Selectivity of 3-methylcyclopentanone. SHDE: Selectivity of hexadienes. SHE: Selectivity of hexenes. SOthers: Selectivity of the other by-products (include benzene, C12 oligomers, and the gaseous products (e.g., CH4, C2H4, C2H6, and C3H6 etc.)) generated during the reaction.
  4. cFor comparison, the reaction was carried in a nitrogen atmosphere under the same conditions as we used for the hydrodeoxygenation of MCP.
  5. dThe direct synthesis of MCPD using HD and H2 as a feed under the same conditions as we used for the hydrodeoxygenation of MCP.
