An improved multiconversion zone process which results in an increased yield of motor fuel blending stocks from butanes is disclosed. A butane mixture is fractionated into isobutane-rich and normal butane-rich process streams, with the normal butane-rich stream being passed into an isomerization zone. All of the C4's in the isomerization zone effluent and the normal butane-rich process stream are passed through a dehydrogenation zone. The entire dehydrogenation zone effluent stream is passed into an alkylation zone, and the alkylation zone effluent is fractionated. An alkylate-containing normal butane stream is recycled to the feed fractionator, and alkylate from the feed fractionator is admixed with an alkylate stream from the alkylation zone product fractionator to produce a product stream.
