Therefore, in the first part of the thesis 1-butanol production by means of the Guerbet reaction is studied.

Nowadays there is a great interest to substitute petroleum-derived polymers with more sustainable materials.

Then, the synthesis of p-toluic acid (the terephthalic acid (TPA) precursor, and monomer for polyethylene terephthalate (PET)) from natural molecules (acrylic and sorbic acids) was set up by exploiting a Diels-Alder (DA) reaction
