The ketonization of propanoic acid to form 3-pentanone over CeO2-based composite oxides at temperatures of 300-425 degreesC was investigated. A CeO2-based solid solution, CeO2-Mn2O3, was effective for the ketonization. The citrate process was the most appropriate method for preparing, a well-dispersed solid solution. In the ketonization of propanoic acid with another linear carboxylic acid, an asymmetric ketone together with two symmetric ketones was formed, and the ketone composition was approximated by a binomial distribution. The reactivity of the carboxylic acid was slightly decreased as its chain length was increased. In contrast to linear aliphatic acids, branched acids were less reactive. Methyl group substituents at the alpha- and beta-positions of carboxylic acids decreased their reactivities in both homo- and cross-ketonization. The lack of an alpha-hydrogen or the increase in steric hindrance was surmised to be the cause of the decrease in reactivity. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
