Abstract

Abstract Organic compounds can be oxidatively dehydrogenated using metal vanadite catalysts. For example, butene-2 is dehydrogenated to butadiene over a number of metal vanadites (e.g., Mg, Mn, Co, Zn and Li) in modest to excellent yields. The yield of dehydrogenated product can be improved by the presence of phosphorous in the metal vanadite catalyst, e.g., the yield of butadiene was 45 mole % with a Mg-V catalyst and 50 mole % with a Mg-P-V catalyst under similar conditions of operation. The presence of small quantities of halogen, for example 0.0001 to 0.5 mole per mole of hydrocarbon to be dehydrogenated, produces more improved yields of dehydrogenated product.
