ChemInform Abstract: Aromatics Formation from Alumina‐Catalyzed Reactions of Methanol with Aliphatic and Alicyclic Carbonyl Compounds.

Abstract

AbstractAt 250‐260 °C the series of reactions (alkylation, dealkylation, condensation, and cleavage) of acetone (I) with MeOH (II) over Al2O3 leads to a mixture of simple ketones such as (III) and (IV) and the aromatics (V) and (VI).
