Abstract
Dehydrohalogenation of halogenated butyl to produce a butyl rubber having conjugated double bonds in the linear backbone. The composition is disclosed as having the predominant structure: ##EQU1## where n + 1 represent the number of isoolefin units incorporated in the butyl rubber polymer backbone, and m represents the number of conjugated diolefin units present, substantially as isolated units. The composition is prepared by contacting a solution of halogenated butyl rubber with: (1) a soluble metal carboxylate, where the metal is selected from the metals of Groups Ib, IIb, IVa and VIII of the Periodic Table; (2) a soluble carboxylic acid; and (3) an oxide or hydroxide of a metal selected from the metals of Groups Ia or IIa of the Periodic Table.
