Abstract
The transformation of allyl alcohol was studied over an amorphous Cu 41Zr 59 alloy and, for comparison, on copper powder in the presence of hydrogen at 448–573 K. The amorphous CuZr alloy precursor can be activated to exhibit high activity in the isomerization and hydrogenation of allyl alcohol to produce propanal and 1-propanol as major products. The activity of the as-received alloy increases and the selectivity changes with time on stream due to the rapidly increasing copper surface area. 1-Propanol formation is correlated with the number of Cu(0) surface sites.
