I am unaware of any, but as a layman I would be surprised if there are.
The two languages are quite different.

The syntax is very similar, but there are too many differences. For instance, C allows you to access memory directly, and perform pointer arithmetic; neither is possible in Java. Also, C has unsigned data types which are not present in Java. Well, there's one: Java's char is is a rough equivalent of C's unsigned short.
