C-C ISOALKANE SYNTHESIS METHOD Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC C07C9/16 C07C1/20 B01J21/10 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of producing a mixture of C₄-C₁₆ isoalkanes by bringing aliphatic alcohol - ethanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol in an inert gas medium at 300-420°C, pressure 30-80 atm, bulk speed 0.2-0.8 h^-1, into contact with a catalyst composition, which contains a hydride phase of an iron-titanium intermetallic compound, modified with group IV-VII metals, aluminium-platinum catalyst and a transition metal oxide, characterised by that, the transition metal oxide used is magnesium oxide in mass ratio 10:1:(0.8-1.2).

EFFECT: catalyst used in the method is highly active for a long period of time and the given method also widens the raw material base of aliphatic alcohols used.
