Reaction of Methanol and Acetone over Metal Ion-Exchanged Forms of Fluoro Tetrasilicic Mica to Form Methyl Vinyl Ketone

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1988.1991

Methyl vinyl ketone was obtained at 30-40percent selectivity by the reaction of methanol and acetone at 350 deg.C over Ti(IV)-, Cr(III)-, Mn(II)-, and Sn(IV)-exchanged forms of fluoro tetrasilicic mica (TSM).The addition of oxygen into the feed increased the conversion of acetone and the reaction over Ti(IV)-TSM converted 11percent of acetone fed into methyl vinyl ketone at 85percent selectivity.
