Procedure
Propylene bromohydrin (1.00 ml/hour) and helium (2.0 ml/minute) were passed through a reactor that was packed with 1.1784 gram M2, which was heated to 100° C. Within the first 2 hours, an average propylene bromohydrin conversion of 50%, with 67% propylene oxide average selectivity and 33% acetone selectivity was obtained.
