Catalytic synthesis of oxygenate from alcohol

The present invention discloses a method for catalytic synthesis of oxygenate from alcohol. At first, a feeding material comprising at least one alcohol is provided. Next, a copper-containing catalyst is provided and the catalyst further comprises at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of the following: zinc, magnesium, and aluminum elements. Following that, a catalytic reaction of the feeding material over the copper-containing catalyst is carried out to synthesize at least one oxygenate.

Functional Group Hybrids. Reactivity of α'-Nucleofuge α,β-Unsaturated Ketones. 1. Reactions with Organocopper Reagents

A series of α-nucleofuge α',β'-unsaturated ketones encompassing a variety of structural types and nucleofuges was prepared.Treatment of these compounds with lithium dimethylcuprate or methylcopper leads primarily to either reductive cleavage of the α-nucl

CONDENSATION DES ORGANOMAGNESIENS SUR LES CHLORUSES D'ACIDE DANS LE TETRAHYDROFURANNE A BASSE TEMPERATURE

The condensation of a Grignard reagents with hindered acid chlorides in THF at low temperature, yields ketones which are generally difficult to obtain and avoids the side reaction caused with a CuCl catalyst.Applied to unsaturated Grignard reagents and acid chlorides, this method also yields unsaturated ketones, such as the Artemisia ketone.
