A novel, one-step process is explored for glycerol conversion to propene, in liquid phase. Molybdena-based catalysts selectively catalyze C-O bond scission while generate a C=C bond. Via Hydro-deoxygenation reactions, glycerol is converted to 2-propenol, which is subsequently hydrogenated to propene, exhibiting 67.6% yield and 100% selectivity based on gas-phase products.
