Description

In the metathesis of ethylene and butenes technology, if there is 1-butene present the catalyst system typically employs a co-catalyst that provides double bond isomerisation activity. This shifts the 1-butene to 2-butene, as the 2-butene is reacted away with ethylene and maximises selectivity to propylene as well as propylene production.
