Abstract

The hydrogen--deuterium exchange on gamma -alumina was studied. The catalytic effect of the aluminas was correlated with the intrinsic acidity of the aluminas. Alumina prepared from aluminum isopropoxide and having relatively strong acid sites was about 60 times as active for the exchange reaction as an alumina catalyst prepared from sodium aluminate and containing less than 0.1% by weight of sodium. A mechanism for hydrogen-deuterium exchange is proposed. (auth)
