General Description

4,4-Dimethyl-1-pentanol, also known as pivalol, is a chemical compound with the formula C6H14O. It is a colorless liquid with a strong, fruity odor and is insoluble in water. 4,4-DIMETHYL-1-PENTANOL is commonly used as a solvent in coatings, adhesives, and inks, as well as a raw material for the production of plasticizers and surfactants. It is also used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes and personal care products. 4,4-Dimethyl-1-pentanol is flammable and should be handled and stored with proper precautions, including adequate ventilation and fire safety measures.

Acid-Promoted Hydroformylative Synthesis of Alcohol with Carbon Dioxide by Heterobimetallic Ruthenium-Cobalt Catalytic System

The acid-aided heterobimetallic ruthenium-cobalt catalytic system for the reductive hydroformylation with carbon dioxide was established. Various alkenes, including waste from biomass and petroleum industry, could be upgraded to valuable alcohols with this protocol. Acid-promoted reverse water-gas shift (RWGS), thereby accelerating the hydroformylative synthesis of alcohol. The theoretical computations revealed that acid promoted RWGS by facilitating the dehydroxylation of ruthenium hydroxy carbonyl intermediate.

Hydroformylation of olefins catalyzed by alkene complexes of platinum(0)

In the presence of methanesulfonic acid the platinum(0) complex catalyses the hydroformylation of various olefins.In some cases there is quite good chemoselectivity and high regioselectivity towards n-aldehyde.
