dc.description.abstractCyclocondensation of acetone involves aldol condensation leading initially to the primary condensation products (PCP), diacetone alcohol and mesityl oxide, which again react with acetone to form phorone, isophorone, mesitylene, etc. Relative selectivities of chromia, -alumina, magnesia and calcium oxide catalysts have been studied in a flow reactor at 360-520°C. Alumina and magnesia are found to favour isophorone formation at 360°C with 45% selectivity but the selectivity steeply falls with the increase in temperature to 520 °C due to rise in decomposition products. Primary condensation products are formed more with magnesia; selectivity to mesitylene is more with CaO (~66% at 400-480 °C) and Cr2O3 (50-55% at 480-520 °C.en_US
