In the production of catalytically reformed gasoline, the dehydrogenation of lower paraffins is considered undesirable12. This reaction can lead to the formation of light hydrocarbons like methane, ethane, propane, and butanes, which are of lower value and not beneficial for the production of high-octane gasoline2.

Because it will form gum due to presence of small double bond compounds.
