Isomerization of olefins in the presence of reactive impurities
-
, (2008/06/13)
A process and catalyst for isomerizing olefins are disclosed. The process and catalyst are particularly useful for isomerizing alkenyl bridged ring compounds to the corresponding alkyladiene bridged ring compounds. In one embodiment, the isomerization catalyst comprises an oxygen treated mixture of an alkali metal on a dried support having a surface area of 125 to 195 m2 /g when the support consists essentially of alumina wherein the alumina precursor is a large crystallite pseudoboehmite. The catalyst is particularly useful for isomerizing 5-vinyl-2-norbornene to 5-ethylidiene-2-norbornene. The catalyst is very active and highly selective and resistant to catalyst poisons. The process contacts the catalyst with an alkenyl bridged ring compound and yields the corresponding alkyladiene bridged ring compound.
Multi-stage olefin isomerization

, (2008/06/13)
A multi-stage process for isomerizing olefin compounds to the corresponding product olefin compounds is provided. The isomerization catalyst comprises an oxygen treated mixture of an alkali metal on a calcined support. The multi-stage process is particularly useful for isomerizing 5-vinyl-2-norbornene to 5-ethylidiene-2-norbornene. The catalyst is very active and highly selective and resistent to catalyst poisons. The process contacts the catalyst with an isomerizable olefin in at least two reaction stages to yield the corresponding product olefin compound. The reaction stages differ in temperature, catalyst activity or both.
