At present, alcohols are considered sustainable starting materials that can be used in
organic synthesis for various organic transformations and the preparation of commodity …

Alcohols are abundant and attractive feedstock molecules for organic synthesis. Many
methods for their functionalization require them to first be converted into a more activated …

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant organic carbon source and has received a
great deal of interest as renewable and sustainable feedstock for the production of potential …

Acceptorless double dehydrogenative cross-coupling of secondary and primary alcohols
under nickel catalysis is reported. This Guerbet type reaction provides an atom-and a step …

Herein, a phosphine-free pincer ruthenium (III) catalyzed β-alkylation of secondary alcohols
with primary alcohols to α-alkylated ketones and two different secondary alcohols to β …

The β-alkylation of secondary alcohols has been successfully accomplished using earth
abundant, inexpensive and environmentally benign 3d transition metal chromium salt CrCl3 …

Alcohols are promising sustainable starting materials because they can be obtained from
