- Abstract
The relationship between the acid–base properties of commercial and test samples of aluminum oxides and their catalytic activity in the dehydration of α-phenylethanol was studied. It was found that, in the dehydration of α-phenylethanol, the conversion of the alcohol and the yield of styrene on a catalyst depend on the concentrations of both Brønsted and Lewis acid sites. A hypothetical mechanism of the dehydration with the participation of coordinatively unsaturated aluminum atoms and bridging oxygen ions on the alumina surface was proposed.
