Abstract
The formation sequence of trimethylpentane (TMP) isomers in the liquid-phase interaction of butyl triflates and butenes with isobutane was studied. In the composition of alkylation products, the fractions of TMP isomers increased in the order 2,2,4-TMP > 2,3,4-TMP > 2,3,3-TMP \( \gg \) 2,2,3-TMP upon homogeneous interaction in isobutane or in the order 2,3,4-TMP > 2,3,3-TMP > 2,2,4-TMP \( \gg \) 2,2,3-TMP in the isobutane–triflic acid two-phase system. The isomeric composition approached the composition of a usual commercial product with increasing reaction time mainly owing to the isomerization of 2,3,4-TMP and 2,3,3-TMP isomers into a 2,2,4-TMP isomer. The possible mechanisms of formation of primary reaction products were discussed. These products are 2,2,4-TMP and 2,2,3-TMP in the case of butenes and 2,3,4-TMP and 2,3,3-TMP in the case of butyl triflates.
