Solid base catalysis: fine chemical synthesis from alcohols

A study of solid base catalysis was conducted in three main categories, namely condensation reactions of primary alcohols, alkylation reactions of dihydroxybenzene and hydrogenation reactions of phenol. Ethanol was converted into 1-butanol over alkali earth metal oxides and modified MgO catalyst...
