Abstract
Solid superbases with basic strength up to H_ greater than or equal to 37 c an be prepared by a treatment of the carriers such as gamma-alumina and MgO successively with alkali metal hydroxide and alkali metal under nitrogen o r with cesium acetate followed by calcination at 700-750 degrees C in vacuu m. The catalytic activity of such superbases was studied in the double bond isomerization of beta-pinene. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights re served.
