Usage

General Description

1,2,4-Trimethylcyclohexane is a colorless liquid compound with a mildly sweet odor. It is a cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon, consisting of a cyclohexane ring with three methyl groups attached at the 1, 2, and 4 positions. 1,2,4-TRIMETHYLCYCLOHEXANE is mainly used as a solvent in various industries, including the formulation of adhesives, paints, and coatings. Its low volatility and excellent solvency make it a preferred choice for applications requiring a stable, non-reactive solvent. Additionally, 1,2,4-Trimethylcyclohexane is also utilized in the production of certain chemicals and as a component in fragrance formulations. However, it is important to handle this compound with care as it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested and may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.

METHODS FOR SELECTIVELY HYDROGENATING SUBSTITUTED ARENES WITH SUPPORTED ORGANOMETALLIC CATALYSTS

Methods for selectively hydrogenating substituted arenes with a supported organometallic hydrogenating catalyst are provided. An exemplary method includes contacting a substituted arene-containing reaction stream with hydrogen in the presence of a supported organometallic hydrogenating catalyst under reaction conditions effective to selectively hydrogenate the substituted arenes to the cis isomer with high selectivity. In this method, the supported organometallic hydrogenating catalyst includes a catalytically active organometallic species and a Br?nsted acidic sulfated metal oxide support.

Supramolecular cluster catalysis: Facts and problems

By checking the chemistry underlying the concept of "supramolecular cluster catalysis" we identified two major errors in our publications related to this topic, which are essentially due to contamination problems. (1) The conversion of the "closed" cluster cation [H3Ru3(C6H6) (C6Me6)2(O)]+ (1) into the "open" cluster cation [H2Ru3 (C6H6)(C6Me6)2 (O)(OH)]+ (2), which we had ascribed to a reaction with water in the presence of ethylbenzene is simply an oxidation reaction which occurs in the presence of air. (2) The higher catalytic activity observed with ethylbenzene, which we had erroneously attributed to the "open" cluster cation [H2Ru3 (C6H6)(C6Me6)2 (O)(OH)]+ (2), was due to the formation of RuO2·nH2O, caused by a hydroperoxide contamination present in ethylbenzene.

Oxidative transformations of cyclohexane, methylcyclopentane, and pentane on treatment with superelectrophiles based on polyhalomethane and aluminum halides

Cyclohexane and methylcyclopentane dimerize into dimethyldecalins on treatment with superelectrophilic systems containing polyhalomethanes (CBr4, CCl4, CHCl3) and aluminum halides (AlBr3, AlCl3). At 2
