The Guerbet reaction would be an optimal solution for bio-ethanol refinery by homologation
and it substantially requires the development of active and highly selective catalysts …

The homogeneously catalyzed Guerbet upgrading of ethanol to butanol can be modulated
by the application of partial H2 pressure before the reaction. Ruthenium (II) PNP pincer …

The production of higher alcohols (C4+) via ethanol liquid-phase condensation is studied in
this work, screening catalysts with different acid/base properties, observing similarities but …

Multistep H2-free upgrading of alcohols to liquid hydrocarbons is highly desirable for
producing drop-in fuel substitutes, but the limited reports of this process for select substrates …

Many reactions can be carried out in presence of microwaves. Here, microwaves are the
energy source. It is used for the heating with certain benefits such as efficient, uniform and …
