SYNTHESIS OF ISOAMYLENE FROM METATHESIS OF ISOBUTENE WITH CIS-2-BUTENE

Abstract
Metathesis of isobutene with cis-2-butene was studied over MoO3–Al2O3 and Re2O7–Al2O3 catalysts using a flow reactor. Effects of alkali addition to MoO3–Al2O3 and of reaction temperature on the reaction results were investigated. With Re2O7–Al2O3, a satisfactory yield of isoamylene was obtained with a high degree of selectivity.
