An active and selective catalytic composite, useful for oxydehydrogenating dehydrogenatable alkylaromatic hydrocarbons comprises a combination of catalytically effective amounts of cobalt oxide, chromium oxide, alumina and magnesium oxide with a silica carrier material. A specific example of the active and selective catalytic composite disclosed herein for use in oxydehydrogenation of alkylaromatic hydrocarbons is a combination of cobalt oxide, chromium oxide, alumina and magnesium oxide with a silica carrier material in amounts sufficient to result in a mole ratio of chromium oxide to cobalt oxide of about 0.2:1 to about 2:1, of alumina to cobalt oxide of about 0.05:1 to about 0.5:1 and of magnesium oxide to cobalt oxide of about 0.05:1 to about 0.5:1. A key feature involves using this catalytic composite in the oxydehydrogenation of dehydrogenatable alkylaromatic hydrocarbons at an inlet reactor temperature greater than 470 DEG C.
