A method of preparing an olefin comprising: reacting a polyol in the presence of a carboxylic acid, such that an olefin is produced by the deoxygenation of the polyol. The reacting step can comprise (a) providing a composition comprising the polyol, (b) heating the composition, and (c) introducing the carboxylic acid to the composition wherein the introducing step occurs prior to, at the same time as, or subsequent to the heating step. In one embodiment, the polyol is glycerol, the carboxylic acid is formic acid, and the olefin is allyl alcohol, which is produced at a yield of about 80% or greater.
一种制备烯烃的方法,包括:在
羧酸的存在下,反应多元醇,使多元醇脱氧生成烯烃。反应步骤可以包括(a)提供含有多元醇的组成物,(b)加热该组成物,以及(c)将
羧酸引入组成物中,其中引入步骤可以在加热步骤之前、同时或之后发生。在一种实施方式中,多元醇为
甘油,
羧酸为
甲酸,生成的烯烃为
烯丙醇,其收率为约80%或更高。
