Abstract
The sustainable synthesis of long carbon chain molecules from carbon dioxide, water and electricity relies on the development of waste-free, highly selective C-C bond forming reactions. An example for such a power-to-chemicals process is the industrial-scale fermentation for the production of hexanoic acid. Herein, we describe how this product is transformed into 6-undecanone via decarboxylative ketonization using a heterogeneous manganese oxide/silica catalyst. The reaction reaches full conversion with near-complete selectivity when carried out in a continuous flow reactor, requires no solvent or carrier gas, and releases carbon dioxide and water as the only by-products. The reactor was operated for several weeks with no loss of reactivity, producing 7 kg of 6-undecanone from 10 g of catalyst and achieving a productivity of 1.135 kg per litre of reactor volume per hour. 6-Undecanone and other long-chain ketones accessible this way can be hydrogenated to industrially meaningful alkanes, or converted into valuable fatty acids via a hydrogenation/elimination/isomerizing hydrocarboxylation sequence.

Abstract
We report the spectroscopic investigation of two bifunctional aliphatic carboxylic acids, namely, adipic acid and 6-hydroxycaproic acid, in the gas phase by combining high-resolution rotational spectroscopy and supersonic expansions. Their pure rotational spectra were successfully identified and characterized. However, due to the low thermal stability of these two chemicals, the measured rotational spectra were significantly congested with transitions corresponding to their decomposition products upon heating. We observed cyclopentanone and adipic anhydride in the spectrum of adipic acid and ε-caprolactone and its monohydrate in the spectrum of 6-hydroxycaproic acid. On the basis of the distinct fingerprints of both carboxylic acids and a series of their decomposition products, the spectra were analyzed in a time-segmented manner. This provides valuable insights into the thermal decomposition mechanisms of these two samples over time, which highlights the robustness of microwave spectroscopy as a potent tool for analyzing complex chemical mixtures in a species-, isomer-, and conformer-selective way.
