Abstract
Zirconium oxide catalyst gave a high product ratio, 7.3, of cis-2-butene/trans-2-butene from 1-butene and 90.2% of 1-butene in butenes formed from sec-butanol. Poisoning effect of n-butylaraine or carbon dioxide on the reactions suggested that the catalyst has both acidic and basic character.Keywords
