OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION OF ALKYLHETEROAROMATIC COMPOUNDS 1, CATALYSTS CONTAINING VANADIUM AND MOLYBDENUM FOR THE OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION OF ALKYLPYRIDINES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF01166312

The dehydrogenation of a series of alkylpyridines has been studied on vanadium and molybdenum oxidecontaining catalysts in the presence of oxygen of the air and sulfur dioxide gas.A dependence was shown of the catalytic and physicochemical properties of the catalysts indicated on their composition and method of preparation.The optimum catalyst composition and the conditions of carrying out the reaction to provide high activity and selectivity when making vinylpyridines were determined.The relative reactivity of the alkylpyridines investigated on dehydrogenation and further oxidation was determined.
