Zusammenfassung:	It is of crucial importance to form C-C bonds between biomass-derived compounds for the production of bio-alkanes from biomass. In this study, it was found that C-C bonds can be formed between angelica lactones, key intermediates derived from biomass, through free radical reactions under mild conditions without using a noble catalyst or solvent, which gave elongated carbon chains of di/trimers with 10 or 15 carbons, with complete conversion and 100% selectivity. The di/trimers produced serve as a novel feedstock for the carbon backbones of bio-alkanes. Hydrogenation of the di/trimers produced C6-C13 hydrocarbons suitable for use as transportation fuels.
