Abstract
Transition metal-loaded metal oxides are tested for C–C self-coupling of 2-octanol to a higher ketone at 140 °C. Among various catalysts, Pt/CeO2 shows the highest activity and shows good reusability. Pt/CeO2 is effective for the self-coupling of various aliphatic secondary alcohols and α-alkylation of methyl ketones with aliphatic secondary alcohols. A possible reaction mechanism is discussed.
