Carbon monoxide and hydrogen (syngas) as a C1-building block for selective catalytic methylation
Akash Kaithal, Markus Hölscher, Walter Leitner
Abstract
A broadly applicable catalytic process for the selective β-methylation of alcohols is presented using syngas (CO/H 2 ) directly as a C1 building block and the shown manganese complex in the presence of a base as the catalytic system.
