In the conversion of anisole catalyzed by Pt/Al₂O₃ and by HY-zeolite, methyl-group transfers are kinetically significant reactions, and when the catalyst was Pt/Al₂O₃ used in the presence of H₂, hydrogenation and C–O bond-breaking reactions are also kinetically significant. Data such as these provide a starting point for predicting bio-oil conversions.
