Kinetics of methylphenylcarbinol dehydration in styrene

Conclusions A study has been made of the kinetics of the dehydration of methylphenylcarbinol in styrene containing aluminum oxide; equations are proposed for describing reaction rates in the kinetic and internal transition regions.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 38–43, January, 1978.The authors would like to thank D.
