An efficient method for selective alpha-alkylation of ketones with alcohols was developed using 2-hydroxypyridine-based ligands coordinated by palladium as pre-catalysts. The reactions were performed without additional additives under mild reaction conditions. The method is environmentally friendly to build C-C bond as water is the only byproduct. This tandem reaction proceeds via dehydrogenation

Waste is a growing environmental problem, especially organic waste that decomposes and generates large emissions of methane. In controlled environments, the methane emissions could instead be used to reduce the use of virgin substances, example fossil fouls. A good waste management is therefore of most importance which sometimes can be difficult to achieve. The waste management is particularly difDin semester bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen Avfall är ett växande globalt miljöproblem och en aspekt som orsakar svårigheter är deponering av matavfall som är den tredje största utsläppskällan av metangas i världen. Metangasen kan istället nyttjas som fordonsgas vilket skulle bidra till en minskad användning av fossila bränslen. Därför är en god avfallshantering av största vikt men det är
