Abstract
Abstract 4-METHYLPENTENE-1 CAN BE ISOMERIZED IN GOOD YIELDS TO 4-METHYLPENTENE-2 USING A MOLECULAR SIEVE CATALYST HAVING A PORE SIZE OF 4 A. FOR EXAMPLE, TYPE 13X GAVE 65.6 PERCENT YIELD OF 4-MP-2. THE SELECTIVITY OF THE CATALYSTS CAN BE IMPROVED BY SUBSTITUTING A NOBLE METAL ION FOR A PORTION OF THE SODIUM IN THE CATALYST, E.G. YIELD GO TO 73.5 PERCENT. THIS RESULT IS CONTRARY TO THE THERMODYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM WHICH INDICATES THE PREDOMINATE PRODUCT IS 2-METHYLPENTENE-2 AND 4-MP-2 IS ONLY A MINOR PRODUCT. 4-MP-2 CAN BE REACTED WITH ETHYLENE OVER A 10 PERCENT MO03-ALUMINA CATALYST TO GIVE GOOD YIELDS OF 3-METHYLBUTENE-1 WHICH CAN BE DEHYDROGENATED TO ISOPRENE.
