Formation of Alkenylbenzenes via Soft Oxidant, CO2

초록

CO2 can be utilized as an oxidant in the dehydrogenation of alkylaromatics into the corresponding alkenylaromatics. It enabled to give advantages of chemical equilibrium alleviation and the catalytic stability at such high reaction temperatures. Metal oxide catalyst, V-SbOx, proceeded in a redox cycle mechanism which was more stabilized by the incooperaion of SbOx promoter.
