Table 2. The 18O exchange during aqueous-phase cyclohexanol dehydration.*.

Catalyst 18O in the recovered alcohol (%) Conversion (%)
MFI, 433 K 32±2 22
BEA, 453 K 10±1 19
H4SiW, 453 K 16±1 15

*Extent of 18O exchange from H218O (97% isotopic purity) into unlabelled cyclohexanol and its conversion during dehydration (cyclohexanol concentration: 0.30 M in H218O).

Determined from the intensity ratio between fragment ions m/z 57 and 59 in the MS fragmentation patterns (Supplementary Fig. 10) and error bars reflect the uncertainties in this ratio.
