Abstract
2-Methyl-2-butanol was synthesized in the 60–103 °C temperature range over sulfonic acid resin as the catalyst and in the presence of a sufficient quantity of acetone to obtain a single liquid phase. Equilibrium constants and rate constants are given as a function of temperature, and the reaction enthalpy and activation energy were determined. The activity of Amberlyst 15 is compared to that of other catalysts. Reactivities of isopentenes are compared to that of isobutene. The UNIFAC predictive method was used to determine activity coefficients so as to describe the non-ideality of the liquid phase and to compare experimental and thermodynamic constants. Since the isomerization of the double bond occurs during hydration, the mechanism of hydration can be discussed.
