ABSTRACT:
Condensed dimer alcohols, also known as Guerbet alcohols, are prepared using metal alkoxide as the catalyst by reacting alcohol with saturated or unsaturated aldehyde or allyl alcohol, or mixtures thereof, at 100.degree.-220.degree. C. and removing water as it is formed during the reaction. Dimer alcohols are prepared in high yields without the need for a transition metal catalyst.
