Abstract
The procedure for carrying out Guerbet condensations has been modified to furnish a facile laboratory method for preparing a variety of alcohols. Benzyl alcohol condenses quite satisfactorily with normal primary alcohols and especially well with a-methylbenzyl alcohol. Both benzyl and normal primary alcohols condense fairly well with cyclohexanol. Since with the improved procedure the amounts of the main product and chief by-products can be ...
