Abstract
Homologation of methanol and ethanol has been observed by placing a CO2/H2 (1:1) mixture in contact with a suspension of copper/zirconium polyhydride, Cu3Zr2Hn, in an alcohol–benzene solution; the absence of CO and CH3OH among the reaction products in the ethanol homologation suggests that carbon monoxide and methanol are not involved in the reaction observed.
