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.
