Mechanisms of alkylation of isobutane by butenes and H/D exchange in isobutane molecules on acid zeolites

  • Published:
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

The mechanisms of alkylation of isobutane by butenes are discussed. As a result of critical analysis of the literature on the regioselectivity of protonation of isobutane a mechanism of H/D exchange in the isobutane molecule at the acid centers is proposed as possible first stage of alkylation.
