Reaction Steps
As demonstrated by entries 4 and 5 in Table 1, at about 130° C., the conversion of the three-carbon feedstock starting from acetone and hydrogen is 16.4% and from isopropanol is 8.6%. Isopropanol becomes the major reaction product, while MIBC predominates over MIBK in the aldol product. Small amounts of mesityl oxide are also seen, however, no diisobutylketone is formed. Thus, 130° C. favors secondary alcohols over ketones and the conversion of three-carbon feedstock to aldol products is poor.
