Alloy formation between Pd and Zn enables a new catalytic pathway to generate high‐value compounds selectively from renewable ethanol, as reported by K. K. Ramasamy et al. in their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/anie.202005256). The key reaction steps for the direct catalytic conversion of ethanol to C₅₊ ketones are the in‐situ generation of the acetone intermediate and the cross‐aldol condensation between the reaction intermediates acetaldehyde and acetone.

乙醇直接催化转化为C5 +酮：钯锌合金对催化活性和稳定性的作用

如K. K. Ramasamy等人报道，Pd和Zn之间的合金形成使一条新的催化途径能够从可再生乙醇中选择性地产生高价值化合物。在他们的研究文章中（DOI：10.1002 / anie.202005256）。乙醇直接催化转化为C ₅₊ 酮的关键反应步骤是原位生成丙酮中间体，以及反应中间体乙醛和丙酮之间的交叉羟醛缩合。
