Abstract

Various catalysts are available for the vapor phase dehydration of tertiary acetylenic carbinols to yield vinylacetylene derivatives. Anhydrous magnesium sulfate, 2 basic aluminum~ ulfate.~ and aluminum phosphateJ4 have all been used successfully for this dehydration reaction. Activated alumina has been shown by Vaughn6 to be a satisfactory dehydration catalyst for tertiary ethynyl carbinols only if the alkaline ingredients present, ...
