Overall Reaction Scheme for Multicatalytic Conversion of Butanol (BuOH) to n-Butyraldehyde (BA) to 2-Ethylhexenal (2-EH)a
aBuOH oxidation to BA is catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), converting NAD+ to NADH in the process. The NAD+ cofactor is then regenerated along with H2 by photocatalysis on a Pt@ CdS nanorod. The BA product is then upgraded to 2-EH via aldol condensation catalyzed by β-alanine. Measured turnover frequencies are given next to each catalyst.
