Abstract
Dehydration of 1-phenylethanol to produce styrene has been studied in liquid phase without any solvent with carbon-based solid acid catalysts prepared in one step from renewable resources like d-glucose for the first time. The carbon-based catalyst shows higher styrene selectivity and lower activation energy than other solid acid catalysts that have been used so far, demonstrating that a carbon-based catalyst is very effective in producing styrene from 1-phenylethanol.
