Abstract
A process is described in which methane is reacted with acetylene in the presence of a solid acid catalyst containing fluoride to produce isobutene in high yields. The process may take place at room temperature or lower and atmospheric pressure. The conversion of acetylene typically approaches 100% and the methane conversion has been found to surpass stoichiometric requirements.
