    The reactivities of propanal and propylene have been compared over HSZM-5 zeolites (Si/Al = 45 and 25). Propanal is found to be much more reactive than propylene and to form mostly 2-methyl-2-pentenal and C<inf>9</inf> aromatics as early products in the reaction network. Propylene, in contrast, requires more severe conditions to form C<inf>6</inf> and C<inf>7</inf> aromatics. It is proposed that propanal undergoes acid-catalyzed aldol condensation to form 2-methyl-2-pentenal. This dimer undergoes further condensation to form the aldol trimer, which subsequently dehydrates and cyclizes into C<inf>9</inf> aromatics. In contrast, it is well known that propylene, like other olefins, undergoes aromatization via oligomerization and formation of a hydrocarbon pool. While in the conversion of propanal, propylene is also produced, it appears that it does not play a major role in the formation of aromatics under conditions of shorter space times and lower temperatures, at which propanal produces aromatics in significant amounts. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
