Abstract

The first example of propylene production from 2-butene in promising yield is described by reacting trans-2-butene over tungsten hydrides precursor W–H/Al₂O₃ at 150 °C and different pressures in a continuous flow reactor. The tungsten carbene-hydride active site operates as a ‘bi-functional catalyst’ through the disfavoured 2-butene isomerisation on W-hydride and 2-butenes/1-butene cross-metathesis on W-carbene.
