Abstract The gas‐phase hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde has been performed over unsupported Mo2N and over Mo2N supported on two carbonaceous materials, an activated carbon (AC) and a high surface area graphite (G). These catalysts were in situ prepared by the temperature‐programmed reaction of MoO3 and carbon‐supported Mo precursors with NH3. It is found that selectivity to the unsaturated alcohol is maximum for the Mo2N/G sample, where crotylalcohol selectivities exceed the 60% during all time in reaction. Higher selectivity surface sites are associated with the (200) planes of the γ‐Mo2N crystallites.
