Abstract: Let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ be a field. Let $G$ act on the rational function field $k(x_g:ginG)$ by $k$-automorphisms defined by $gcdot{x}_h=x_{gh}$ for any $g,hinG$. Noether's problem asks whether the fixed field $k(G)=k(x_g:ginG{)}^G$ is rational (i.e. purely transcendental) over $k$. We will prove that, if $G$ is a group of order $2^n$ ($nge4$) and of exponent $2^e$ such that (i) $egen-2$ and (ii) $zet{a}_{2^{e-1}}ink$, then $k(G)$ is $k$-rational.13A50,14E08,14M20,12F12
