Catalytic oxidation-dehydrogenation of methyl alcohol produces__________________?
Correct answer: A. Formaldehyde
- A. Formaldehyde
- B. Phenol
- C. Acetone
- D. Maleic anhydride
Explanation
Catalytic oxidation-dehydrogenation of methanol converts it to formaldehyde, commonly using a silver or metal-oxide catalyst. Phenol and acetone require different feedstocks and reaction pathways.
