Abstract
Sir: In a recent paper Houzvicka and Ponec (1997) examined the various mechanisms of skeletal isomerization of butene proposed in the literature. Among them, the mechanisms which we proposed in the case of ferrierite catalysts, (i) bimolecular with fresh HFER samples (Guisnet et al., 1996a) and (ii) pseudomonomolecular (involving anchored carbocations as sites) with aged HFER samples (Guisnet et al., 1995, 1996b), are rejected by these authors owing to a misinterpretation of our proposals and of those of Meriaudeau et al. (1996). The previously reported observations in favor of these mechanisms are summarized here, and complementary results are presented.
