Abstract
New catalyst compositions comprise sulfated and calcined mixtures of (1) a support comprising an oxide or hydroxide of a Group IV-A element, (2) an oxide or hydroxide of a Group VI, VII or VIII metal, (3) an oxide or hydroxide of a Group I-B, II-B, III-A, III-B, IV-B, V-A or VI-A metal and (4) a metal of the Lanthanide Series of the Periodic Table. A process for alkylation of acyclic saturated compounds with acyclic unsaturated compounds utilizing such catalyst compositions.
Claims10
In a process for catalytic reaction of an acyclic saturated compound having 2 to 10 carbon atoms per molecule with an acyclic unsaturated compound having 2 to 5 carbon atoms per molecule to form compounds having greater molecular weight than the starting materials, the improvement which comprises utilizing as catalyst for such reaction a sulfated and calcined mixture of (1) a support comprising an oxide or hydroxide of a Group IV-A element, (2) an oxide or hydroxide of a first metal selected from the group consisting of a Group VI, Group VII or Group VIII metal, (3) a second metal selected from the group consisting of a Group I-B, II-B, III-A, III-B, IV-B, V-A or VI-A metal and (4) a third metal selected from the group consisting of the metals of the Lanthanide Series of the IUPAC Periodic Table.
