Abstract
The kinetics of isomerization of butenes by boron trifluoride with acetic acid or methanol as cocatalysts have been reβexamined. The results, over a wide concentration range, and at temperatures from β20 to +20Β°C, are consistent with previous data, but it is shown that the previously suggested mechanism cannot apply. By using deuterated acetic acid as cocatalyst it has been found that isomerization exactly parallels protonation, which is consistent with a mechanism involving a classical carbonium ion.
