Dehydration of 3-methyl-2-butanol on zeolites Y, mordenite, and entasil in the sodium and hydrogen forms and on dealuminated mordenites was studied. The hydrogen forms of zeolites from the pentasil family and dealuminated mordenite with a SiO/sub 2//Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ ratio of 14 exhibit the highest activity. 3-Methyl-2-butanol is dehydrated on the zeolites not only according to the mechanism of ..beta..-elimination, but also according to the mechanism of ..gamma..-elimination to a significant degree.
