Heterogeneous Mn@CeO₂ Catalyst for α-Alkylation of Ketones with Alcohols via Hydrogen-Borrowing Strategy.

ABSTRACT: Construction of a C-C bond via alkylation of ketones with alcohol as the alkylating source by employing hydrogen-borrowing strategy is attracting significant attention and is highly appealing due to its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, environmental benefits, and the fact that water is the only byproduct. The development of heterogeneous catalysts based on nonprecious base metals is progressing rapidly. Our newly disclosed manganese-doped cerium oxide nanocomposite (10 wt % Mn@CeO₂) stands out as a cost-efficient and air-stable catalyst, synthesized through a straightforward coprecipitation method and employed for α-alkylation of ketones with primary alcohols via the hydrogen-borrowing strategy. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms the high crystallinity of CeO₂,
