What are the challenges associated with the direct dehydrogenation of cyclohexane?

Label:chem

Topic
Cyclohexane exhibits thermodynamic stability compared to benzene but demonstrates higher reactivity.
Answer
The direct dehydrogenation process of cyclohexane requires high reaction temperatures, which can lead to carbon chain fragmentation or extensive coking. This process also suffers from poor product selectivity and a short catalyst lifespan.
