Abstract

An efficient dehydrogenative-dehydrative cross-coupling of primary and secondary alcohols catalyzed by a recently developed proton responsive ruthenium phosphine-pyridone complex enables a green route to functionalized ketones. Moreover, selective tandem double alkylation of isopropanol is achieved by sequential addition of different alcohols.
