| Zusammenfassung: | The reaction of isobutylene and methylal to form a mixture 1,3-dimethoxy-3-methyl butane and 4-methoxy-2-methylbutene-1 and rearrangement of the same to yield isoprene and methanol is disclosed herein. The isobutylene and methylal may be obtained by the oxidation of isobutane to form t-butylhydroperoxide, followed by rearrangement of the hydroperoxide to yield methylal and t-butyl alcohol and dehydration of the alcohol to produce isobutylene. |
