Abstract
The oxidizing condensation of normal alcohols C-4 to C-12 in the gas p hase over Fe3O4 catalyst containing Cr, Si and K oxides was studied. T he reactions were carried out in a continuous process at atmospheric p ressure. Initially the alcohols undergo dehydrogenation to aldehydes a nd esters, and at higher temperatures symmetric ketones containing 2n - 1 atoms of carbon in a molecule are formed. A mechanism for the reac tion is proposed.
