Abstract

The specific activities of catalysts formed by thermal activation of the layered double hydroxide [Mg2.34Al (OH)6.68] (CO3)0.5·2.6H2O have been determined using 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBOH) as an acid/base-selective substrate. Acetone and acetylene were the only reaction products formed over the temperature range 80–150°C, demonstrating that all of the LDHderived catalysts have highly basic selectivities. Thermal activation below the structural decomposition point of the LDH (⩽250°C) afforded catalysts with specific activities approximately an order of magnitude larger than the amorphous metal oxides and crystalline MgAl2U4 spinel-MgO mixtures formed by thermal activation at 450 and 890°C, respectively. Even the remnant LDH structure formed by partial decarbonation/dehydroxylation at 350°C was substantially more active than the more commonly used metal oxide derivatives.
