Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim 174 words
A process for converting at least one saturated organic compound having the structure ##STR2## wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 may each be H, CH 3 or C 2 H 5 , with the proviso that the sum of the carbon atoms in the R 1 , R 2 and R 3 radicals is 1 to 3, inclusive, R 4 is either H or CH 3 , n is 0 or 1, and m is 1-n, to the corresponding α,β-unsaturated acid, ester and/or aldehyde which comprises catalytically oxidatively dehydrogenating the saturated organic compound exothermically by contacting said saturated organic compound with a calcined catalyst composition having the formula Mo.sub.a V.sub.b Nb.sub.c O.sub.d P.sub.e a is 16, b is about 0.5 to 16, where c is up to 8 but greater than 0, d is >0.0, e is ≧0.0, with the proviso that d+e corresponds to the amounts of O and/or P needed to satisfy the valence requirements of the Mo, V, and Nb in the form of oxides and/or phosphates thereof.
