Reaction Steps
The [Ta]s—H catalyst (46.6 mg; 4.44% Ta/SiO2; 11.4 micromol of Ta) is prepared as in Example 3 and then the reactor charged with propane at atmospheric pressure (propane/Ta=880) and heated at 150° C. under batch conditions. A mixture of methane, of ethane, of butane, of isobutane and, in a smaller proportion, of pentane, of isopentane and of C6 homologues is gradually obtained according to the following Table 2.
