Selective hydrodechlorination of 1,2,3-trichloropropane to produce propylene

摘要

A process for hydrodechlorinating 1,2,3-trichloropropane to produce propylene in preference to propane, characterized in that 1,2,3-trichloropropane and hydrogen are reacted in the gaseous phase in the presence of a Group VIII metal on carbon catalyst, and especially a platinum on carbon catalyst.
