Dehydrogenation of geraniol into geranial in the presence of a hydrogen acceptor (alkene) was studied. Supported palladium catalysts were not suitable for this transformation, but supported copper catalysts showed promising results at 150 degrees C; selectivity to the expected geranial was strongly dependent on the support and the calcinations/reduction procedure (>50 % in the presence of Mg-La hydrotalcite-supported copper).
