Thermolabile Hydrocarbons, XIX. Syntheses, Spectra, Structures, and Strain of Highly Branched Pentanes
Hellmann, Siegried,Beckhaus, Hans-Dieter,Ruechardt, Christoph
, p. 2219 - 2237 (2007/10/02)
The syntheses and spectroscopic properties of eight hydrocarbons R1R2CH-C(CH3)3 (3a-h) and of ten hydrocarbons R1R2R3C-C(CH3)3 (4a-k) (R = alkyl) are described.Their structures and strain enthalpies are discussed on the basis of force field calculations.
Heterogeneous Catalysis, VI. Direct Reduction of Alcohols to Hydrocarbons
Maier, Wilhelm F.,Thies, Irina,Rague Schleyer, Paul von
, p. 392 - 394 (2007/10/02)
Secondary and tertiary alcohols are converted cleanly to the parent hydrocarbons in the gas phase with H2 in the presence of a Ni/Al2O3 catalyst at 190 deg C.Primary alcohols are dehydroxymethylated; e.g., 1-hydroxymethyladamantane (4) gives adamantane (1).Alumina alone, in the absence of Ni, results in the formation of homoadamantane (5) from 4. - Keywords: Gas Phase Hydrogenolysis, Homoadamantane Preparation
