The study aimed to investigate the catalytic effects of alkali metal-doped (Li+, Na+, and K+) magnesia supported by niobium phosphate on the ketonization of aldo-saccharides. The catalytic results showed that Na–MgO/NbP exhibits higher ketose selectivity than Li- and K–MgO/NbP. Compared to undoped M...
