Ethanol Upgrading with N,N,N-Pincer-Based Ru Catalysts: Delineating Key Factors Governing Catalyst Evolution and Stability

The 5-CH3-bpi (bpi = 1,3-bis­(2′-pyridylimino)­isoindolate) ruthenium catalyst is among the most active catalysts to generate higher order alcohols from ethanol, via the Guerbet reaction, yet the reason(s) for this beneficial CH3-subsitution position (5- relative to 4- and 6-) were not known. To und...
