Abstract

Abstract : Tandem catalysis of solid NaPr‐CoRu@Al2 O3 and molecular [HCo(CO)3 PR3 ] catalysts allows the direct conversion of synthesis gas to alcohols. Walter Leitner, Andreas J. Vorholt, Gonzalo Prieto et al. show in their Research Article (e202201004 ) that the combination of Fischer–Tropsch and hydroformylation catalysts generates alcohols from synthesis gas with exceptional selectivity. While the bimodally porous solid catalyst generates 1 ‐olefins with high efficiency, in situ hydroformylation of olefins to alcohols circumvents secondary hydrogenation and allows to push the alcohol selectivity even further.
