Review on Alternative Route to Acrolein through Oxidative Coupling of Alcohols

Oxidative coupling of alcohols using methanol and ethanol, which can both be made renewable, is an attractive route to produce acrolein (propenaldehyde) in a single-step process. Currently acrolein is produced by direct oxidation of fossil propylene, and catalytic double dehydration of glycerol has...
