“…13–15 From the perspective of green and sustainable chemistry, upgrading biomass-based compounds by oxidative dehydrogenation or dehydration are critically important methods, which may make it possible to partly replace crude oil feedstocks with biomass. 16–18 Moreover, the oxidative dehydrogenation of alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds and dehydration of alcohols to corresponding alkene compounds play important roles in academic organic chemistry research and industrial application. 19–21 As a typical biomass-based alcohol monomeric molecule, 1-phenylethanol can be transformed into a variety of organic intermediates, such as acetophenone and styrene.…”
