Isobutane from acid-catalyzed dehydration of butanols
Keyword(s):
Dehydration of the four isomeric butanols by strong acid at about 160° gives a C4-fraction containing isobutane as well as the isomeric butenes. Isobutane probably arises by hydride transfer, from one or more donors including the substrate alcohol and hydrocarbons formed from it in the medium, to one or more carbonium ions including the t-butyl cation. Materials which react with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine reagent to form 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones can be swept out of the hot acid solution with a stream of nitrogen.
