Abstract
A process is described for paraffin isomerization under strong acid conditions in which in aminoalkyladamantane is used to substantially increase the reaction rate of the isomerization.
Claims14
An isomerization process comprising contacting a C.sub.4 -C.sub.6 paraffinic hydrocarbon with a strong acid system in the presence of an aminoalkyladamantane containing at least one unsubstituted bridgehead position, at a temperature of about -100.degree. to 150.degree. C., thereby producing a branched isomer of said paraffinic hydrocarbon.
