The vapour-phase isomerization of [alpha]-pinene for the first time was studied over a supported Au catalyst. [alpha]-pinene was isomerized to camphene over the 2.2% Au/[gamma]-Al sub(2O) sub(3) catalyst at 463-483 K using a solution of the reagent in n-octane as the initial reaction mixture and H s...
