Low-Pressure One-Step Synthesis of Methyl Isobutyl Ketone from Acetone and Hydrogen over Metal Modified Solid Base Catalysts

Methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) is one of the most widely produced and used aliphatic ketones worldwide. The one-step MIBK process with no intermediate separation steps using multifunctional catalysts is an important development towards greener organic synthesis and generates tremendous interest among the researcher across the globe. The single step process is facile and more economically viable and has provided opportunity to develop new and improved catalyst systems capable of operating under mild conditions. A widely variety of catalytic systems have been used in one-step process during last three to four decades. The progress in one-pot synthesis of MIBK using different multifunctional catalysts with special reference to layered based catalysts was critically reviewed in this article.

The one-step synthesis of methyl isobutyl ketone from acetone (MIBK) and H2 in liquid phase was studied over Ni-zirconia catalyst prepared by precipitation. The performances of Ni/ZrO2 catalysts were evaluated by the conversion of acetone and the selectivity of MIBK. The effect of different preparation conditions such as aging temperature, calcination temperature, nickel content and reduction temperature was investigated. The results showed that high acetone conversions of up to 33% and MIBK selectivities of up to 85% were recorded at a nickel content of 13.0 wt % and the reduction temperature of 400°C.
