| Abstract: | The catalyst formed by oxidation of LaNi5, is found to have higher specific activity and lower activation energy for the decomposition of isopropyl alcohol when compared with the corresponding conventionally prepared supported metal catalyst. Both the catalysts lead to the formation of condensation products like n'lesityl oxide. Isobutyl methyl ketone and diisobutyl ketone in addition to acetone. A probable mechanistic route for the formation of the condensation products is proposed. The condensation ability of these supported catalysts is attributed to the basic nature of La2O3. |
