Reactions of various allylic alcohols were studied on a copper chromite catalyst. Three different reactions were observed: hydrogenation, isomerization and deoxygenation. By comparison with some other model compounds such as butanol, butanone and butadiene, analysis of the mechanism of the deoxygenation process suggests that, in fact, this reaction corresponds to a hydrodehydroxylation. Moreover, it is suggested that, in view of Siegel's model, the allylic alcohols constitute a good test model for characterizing the specificity and the nature of the catalytic sites on transition metal oxides.
