The catalytic activity of the zeolite HZSM5 in n-butene conversion was investigated under conditions similar to those of a commercial process for skeletal isomerization. The catalyst was found to be very active in n-butene conversion, but selectivity to isobutene was low due to a predominance of cracking, coking, and oligomerization side reactions. The interaction of 1-butene, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, isobutene, sec-butanol, and tert-butanol was also investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy in the temperature range 150-673 K. 47 refs., 9 figs., 2 tabs.
