Scheme 14.

Scheme 14

Propylene production from glucose via fermentation, dehydration, and metathesis. Glucose is converted to alcohols including isopropanol, 1‐butanol, and ethanol. The alcohols are co‐dehydrated to the corresponding olefins, and 1‐butene and ethylene are sent to a metathesis system to form more propylene.
