Zusammenfassung:
The happy medium: A new catalytic pathway for the synthesis of the linear primary C8 alcohol products 1-octanol and dioctyl ether from furfural and acetone has been developed using retrosynthetic analysis. This opens a general strategy for the synthesis of medium-chain-length alcohols from carbohydrate feedstock.
