Procedure

Pd was found to be the most effective among metals used for the hydrogenation function of catalysts. The 1% wt. n-Pd/n-ZnCr2O4 gave the most active and selective catalyst for direct synthesis of MIBK from acetone. The highest MIBK selectivity of 72.1% was obtained at 77.3 wt % acetone conversion at 350° C. The total MIBK and DIBK selectivity of 85.6% was obtained at these conditions (Table 5, FIG. 2).
