Rr. Rao et al., DEHYDROGENATION OF 2-PICOLYL ALCOHOL TO PYRIDINE-2-CARBOXALDEHYDE OVER MODIFIED SILICO-ALUMINOPHOSPHATE CATALYSTS, Applied catalysis. A, General, 142(2), 1996, pp. 191-196
The dehydrogenation of 2-picolyl alcohol was carried out over modified
and unmodified amorphous/crystalline silico-aluminophosphate catalyst
s. The silico-aluminophosphates are mild and selective oxidation catal
ysts. The best catalytic performance is shown by Sb-K-SAPO (DPA) with
the formation of 81.9% pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde. Pyridine and 2-picol
ine were also observed as byproducts.
