1. A method comprising:
contacting at least one linear olefin with hydrogen in the presence of a dual-function supported catalyst comprising a solid acid component and a hydrogenation component, wherein the at least one linear olefin comprises hexadecene and wherein the solid acid component of the dual-function supported catalyst comprises ZSM-48, the contacting taking place under at a temperature ranging from about 280° C. to about 300° C. at a liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) ranging from about 2 h−1 to about 3 h−1 to catalytically isomerize the at least one linear olefin into an intermediate product comprising one or more branched olefins; and
hydrogenating the one or more branched olefins to form an isoparaffin product comprising one or more methylparaffins, wherein the one or more methylparaffins have a branching index ranging from about 1 to about 3, and at least a majority of the one or more methylparaffins have one branch.
