Identifying the roles of acid–base sites in formation pathways of tolualdehydes from acetaldehyde over MgO-based catalysts

Pure and Al-substituted MgO catalysts are studied to identify the contributions of acid-base sites in the formation of two valuable xylene analogs, ortho- and para-tolualdehydes, from an ethanol derivative, acetaldehyde. The catalyst properties are characterized through XRD, ²⁷Al MAS NMR, ICP-AES, N...
