Abstract

Abstract The direct α-alkylation of ketones with alcohols has emerged as a new green protocol to construct C [BOND] C bonds with H 2 O as the sole byproduct. In this work, a very simple and convenient Pd/C catalytic system for the direct α-alkylation of ketones with primary alcohols in pure water is developed. Based on this catalytic system, aqueous mixtures of dilute acetone, 1-butanol, and ethanol (mimicking ABE fermentation products) ...
