Abstract
Secondary alcohols are coupled with aldehydes in dioxane in the presence of a catalytic amount of a ruthenium catalyst along with KOH to give coupled ketones or coupled secondary alcohols depending on the molar ratio of secondary alcohols to aldehydes and the presence (or absence) of a sacrificial hydrogen acceptor.
