PLATFORM UPDATE:

We are excited to let you know that our journals content will be migrating to the Silverchair platform, with a planned launch in summer 2026.

All of our content will still be hosted at pubs.rsc.org and the new platform will provide a more intuitive reading and navigation experience, along with improved discovery and indexing of your work.

Details on the move can be found in our partnership announcement.

Abstract

Solvent-free microwave-activation, in the liquid phase using an alumina supported V-Sb-O catalyst, affords highly efficient conversion (47%) of glycerol into acrylonitrile under mild conditions, short reaction times and in the absence of any solvent; in addition, it increases selectivity (>80%) compared to conventional thermal activation.
