Ketonization of Carboxylic Acids: Mechanisms, Catalysts, and Implications for Biomass Conversion
Abstract
Ketonization is a reaction in which two carboxylic acids convert into a ketone, carbon dioxide, and water. While this reaction once found its industrial application for acetone production, it is regaining interest for its value in the upgrading of biomass-derived oxygenates, for example, bio-oils obtained from the fast pyrolysis of biomass. Namely, ketonization is crucial to reduce the detrimental effects of carboxylic acids in bio-oil. This review addresses reaction mechanisms, families of materials that catalyze the reaction (metal oxides and zeolites), and current applications of ketonization in the upgrading of biomass-derived oxygenates. A variety of mechanisms have been proposed to explain the ketonization reaction, and these proposals are critically discussed. The role of the α-hydrogen has been proven as a critical requirement for ketonization over catalysts that are active for surface ketonization and serves as the initial basis for the discussion. The role of crucial reaction intermediates such as ketene, beta-keto-acids, carboxylates, and acyl carbonium ions is critically evaluated. Finally, the importance of amphoteric properties of metal oxides on the ketonization reaction is explained. This analysis also explains the positive influence of additives, as well as prereduction treatments, on catalytic performance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
