Application de la reaction de Guerbet a la methylation de n-alcanols primaires
The Guerbet reaction is applied to the methylation of different primary n-alkanols.For 1-n-undecanol 1, selectivities of 70 to 80 percent in 2-methylation are obtained using an excess of methanol, sodium or sodium methoxide as bases and nickel or palladium as catalysts.These transformations which were extended to other primary n-alkanols are obtained at lower temperatures (160-200 deg C) than in the described hitherto conditions.Industrial applications of this Guerbet reaction could be of great interest in these simpler experimental conditions.
