Abstract
A method for making C5-C8 alcohols includes converting a mixture of ethanol and water under suitable conditions into a reaction product mixture comprising a liquid phase and a gas phase, wherein the liquid phase comprises water, acetone, acetaldehyde, and diethylketone, and wherein the gas phase comprises carbon dioxide, hydrogen, C2-C4 olefins, and C1-C4 paraffins; hydrogenating the acetone and the diethylketone to yield isopropanol and 3 pentanol alcohol; and reacting ethanol, the isopropanol, and ethylene in the presence of peroxides of tertiary alcohols to form sec-butanol and tertiary C5-C8 alcohols.

A method for making C5-C8 alcohols, comprising:
- converting a mixture of ethanol and water under suitable conditions into a reaction product mixture comprising a liquid phase and a gas phase, wherein the liquid phase comprises water, acetone, acetaldehyde, and diethylketone, and wherein the gas phase comprises carbon dioxide, hydrogen, C2-C4 olefins, and C1-C4 paraffins;
- hydrogenating the acetone and the diethylketone to yield isopropanol and 3 pentanol alcohol;
- and
- reacting ethanol, the isopropanol, and ethylene in the presence of peroxides of tertiary alcohols to form sec-butanol and tertiary C5-C8 alcohols.
A method for making C3-C8 alcohols, comprising:
- reacting acetaldehyde, propionic aldehyde, and n-butyl aldehyde under conditions sufficient to form a reaction mixture comprising aldehydes and C3-C8 aldols;
- and
- hydrogenating the mixture comprising aldehydes and C3-C8 aldols to form C3-C8 alcohols.
