ture 1108C. After 72 h, 0.14M (15%) of the l,2-propanediol
remained, and the concentrations and yields of hydrogenat-
ed products were n-propanol (0.089M, 9%), and propylene
glycol propyl ether (0.075M, 8%). Di-n-propyl ether was
not detected. The total yield of deoxygenation products
from this experiment indicated 16 catalyst turnovers (17%
yield).
