Abstract

Isoprene is obtained by cracking neohexene. The reaction is effected at 650 DEG -900 DEG C. and 0,1-10 atmospheres for 0,01-1 second, preferably in the presence of silicon carbide. Unconverted neohexene is recycled. Neohexene may be obtained by dehydrogenating neohexane over an acid-free catalyst, e.g. platinum on chromia on alumina, at 450 DEG -900 DEG C. and 0,1-10 atmospheres for 0,2-100 seconds. Alternatively neohexene is obtained by isomerizing dimethylbutenes, by the dehydration of methyl tert. butyl carbinol or the pyrolysis of the tertiary hexanol obtained from hydrolysing the reaction product from tert. butyl, butyl chloride and ethylene over aluminium chloride or ferric chloride. Neohexane is obtained from C6 petroleum feeds preferably with isomerization of the residue, or by the isomerization of hydrogenated propylene dimer or by reacting isobutane and ethylene.
