Abstract
AbstractPoly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), a renewable feedstock from microorganisms, was a good resource for propylene production by a simple one‐pot reaction. The reaction was catalyzed by triruthenium dodecacarbonyl (TD) at relatively mild temperature (240 °C), and the yield and selectivity of propylene reached 22.9 wt% and 46.8%, respectively. A small part of hydrocarbon oils reached 9 wt% was also obtained, which contained 79.1 wt% of carbon and 12.3 wt% of hydrogen, with a theoretical high heating value of 41.2 MJ/kg.
