Abstract
A series of symmetrical long chain aliphatic ketones of general formula CH3−(CH2)n-CO-(CH2)2−CH3, where n=4,5,6,7 and 8, has been used as hydrogen acceptors from 2-propanol at 573–723 K in the presence of MgO catalyst under flow conditions. The yeilds of the appropriate alcohols exceeded 50%. Above 623 K the consecutive dehydration of the alcohols formed took place with moderate yields leading to internal alkenes. The direct one-step synthesis of C13 alkene from 7-tridecanone has been realized under catalytic transfer reduction (CTR) conditions with high yield (>90%) over a MgO catalyst of enhanced acidity.
