Davies, Alex M. published the artcileValorization of Ethanol: Ruthenium-Catalyzed Guerbet and Sequential Functionalization Processes, SDS of cas: 91-15-6, the main research area is ethanol ruthenium catalyst tandem guerbet alkylation; alc preparation.
A ruthenium-catalyzed tandem Guerbet-alkylation strategy for the valorization of ethanol was reported. The products of ethanol upgrading (higher-order alcs.) undergo subsequent C-C bond forming reactions with four carbon pronucleophiles and one ylide. Studies into catalyst design led to the development of ClRu(5-Mebpi)(PPh3)2 (bpi = 1,3-bis(2′-pyridylimino)isoindolate) as a highly efficient catalyst for producing biofuels and value-added chems. from ethanol via Guerbet and tandem Guerbet reactions. This catalyst affords 65% higher-order alcs. in short reaction times (2 h), providing the highest TON (155,890) and TOF (12,690 h-1) for a homogeneous catalyst reported to date.
ACS Catalysis published new progress about Alkylation. 91-15-6 belongs to class nitriles-buliding-blocks, name is Phthalonitrile, and the molecular formula is C8H4N2, SDS of cas: 91-15-6.
