Procedure

Propylene bromohydrin (1.00 ml/hour) and helium (2.0 ml/minute) were passed through a reactor that was packed with 3.0000 gram M1, which was heated to 100° C. Within the first 2 hours, an average propylene bromohydrin conversion of 35%, with 50% propylene oxide average selectivity and 50% acetone selectivity was obtained. In the second hour, only propylene oxide was obtained.
