An investigation has been carried out of the reaction pathway for the hydrodenitrogenation of quinoline over Mo{sub 2}N. Quinoline is found to undergo a rapid hydrogenation to form 1,2,3,4,-tetrahydroquinoline. This product then reacts more slowly to form 2-propylanaline, which in turn undergoes hydrogenolysis of the C-N bond in the saturated ring to form propylbenzene. No evidence is found for propylcyclohexane.
