“…[1][2][3] The reaction involves sequential two-fold dehydrogenation, aldol-condensation, and double hydrogenation. [1,2,[13][14][15][16][17] The primary product is 1-butanol, alongside hexanol, 2-ethylbutanol, octanol, 2-ethylhexanol, 3-ethoxybutanol, and traces of C 8 + aromatics. [1,2,16] Besides the use as solvent or building block for plasticizers, [18,19] also an application of the obtained mixture of C 4 + alcohols as a direct source for bio-based fuels with high octane numbers that can for example directly be used in diesel engines is discussed.…”
