A process is provided for preparing a compound having the formula (I):

##STR00001##

said process being conducted by:

a) the addition of an oxygen source into a solution of a compound of formula (II)

##STR00002##

in a water-miscible solvent,

b) the addition of a laccase in the solution obtained in a); and

c) the possible recovering of the compound of formula (I) thus obtained.

Provided herein are methods for producing ketone(s) from the condensation of methyl ketone(s) and alcohol(s) in the presence of an amine catalyst and a metal catalyst. Such amine catalysts may be supported, for example, on a silica-alumina support. Such ketones may be suitable for use in producing fuels, gasoline additives, and/or lubricants, or precursors thereof. The methyl ketone(s) and/or alcohol(s) may be obtained from renewable sources, such as by fermentation of biomass.
