Abstract:The Guerbet reaction is important for the synthesis of longer‐chain monoalcohols like isobutanol through catalytic transfer hydrogenation from short‐chain methanol and ethanol. However, the mechanism becomes complicated, especially considering the variations in the different metal‐ligand cooperation (MLC) catalysts used. In order to further understand the Guerbet reaction, DFT studies were performed to figure out the detailed mechanism initiated by the unique Mn‐PCP MLC Catalyst. Our results suggest that even … Show more
