Abstract

species. This unique structure efficiently drove the hydrogenation of a mesityl oxide intermediate, achieving a high MIBK selectivity of 94.5% in the acetone conversion process. This strategy provides a novel approach for the synergistic regulation of the metal state, acidity and basicity in tandem reactions.
