Looks good? Looks fantastic !
I fell in love with nr 8, Alumina/Sodium, especially the continuous operation, the moment I saw it. That's a totally new one to me.
The extensive instructions in the patent, how to prepare the catalyst, makes that an easy one.
And the 1-Butanol + 4M KOH in conventional reflux 15 minutes, 99% conversion, in nr 9, that's a fine one too.
Nr. 7, solventless PTC variation is covered here in my sticky thread extensively, it originated from a Osmium post last year. LT/
PS: Yes, I agree, there are some really old techniques covered on your fine site, which can send newbees hayward, if they didn't grab the more recent posts on those various methods.
Some cleaning up wanted, but I realize it is a lot of work for you, and you seem to be a buzybee.
