Highly selective synthesis of 2-cyclopentylidenecyclopentanone via cyclopentanone self-condensation over MgAl-LDO(NO3-)

The cyclopentanone self-condensation to 2-cyclopentylidenecyclopentanone is one of the key steps in synthesizing high-density fuels. In this study, MgAl-LDO(NO3-) catalysts, prepared via coprecipitation, demonstrated good catalytic performance. Meanwhile, Mg2Al-LDO (NO3-)...
