Abstract
An aliphatic mono-olefin e.g. butene-2 is isomerized in the presence of a catalyst comprising essentially a small amount of a manganese oxide supported on an activated alumina to produce the corresponding terminal olefin selectively.
Claims7
A process for the isomerization of an aliphatic mono-olefin hydrocarbon feed to shift an internal double bond therein to produce a corresponding terminal olefin which comprises subjecting said mono-olefin hydrocarbon under isomerization conditions which include a temperature in the approximate range of from about 500.degree. to about 1200.degree. F. to the action of a catalyst comprising a small amount of a manganese oxide supported on an activated alumina, said oxide being present in the approximate range of from about 0.2 to about 8 wt. %, expressed as the element based on the weight of the activated alumina.
