High (≥95 % C) yields of n ‐hexane and n ‐pentane were obtained by hydrogenolysis of aqueous sorbitol and xylitol, respectively, at 413–443 K by using the Ir‐ReO x /SiO 2 catalyst combined with H‐ZSM‐5 as a cocatalyst and n ‐dodecane as a cosolvent. The direct production of n ‐hexane from glucose or cellobiose can be achieved by using the same system. The catalyst can be reused simply by the removal of the n ‐dodecane phase, which contains the product alkane, and the addition of fresh n ‐dodecane and substrate.
