Catalytic conversion of methanol/ethanol to isobutanol – a highly selective route to an advanced biofuel
Catalysts based on ruthenium diphosphine complexes convert methanol/ethanol mixtures to the advanced biofuel isobutanol, with extremely high selectivity (>99%) at good (>75%) conversion via a Guerbet-type mechanism.
