The carbonylation of dimethyl ether (DME) to methyl acetate (MA) is one of the crucial steps in an indirect synthesis route of ethanol from syngas (CO+H2). The H-MOR zeolite exhibits excellent ...

Herein, we demonstrate a general and broadly applicable catalytic cross coupling of methylene ketones and secondary alcohols with a series of primary alcohols to disubstituted branched ketones. A ...
