Transformations of beta-alkylcyclohexane hydrocarbons on modified pentasils with participation of methanol and oxidants
The reactions of dehydroalkylation of methylcyclohexane, ethylcyclohexane, and methylcyclohexene isomers and toluene alkylation with methanol on platinum- and gallium-modified pentasil in the presence of an O-2-CO2 mixture was studied. Optimum conditions were found for the one-step dehydroalkylation of methylcyclohexane on the ring. Under these conditions, the degree of conversion of methylcyclohexane and methylcyclohexene isomers into xylene isomers is above that of toluene alkylation to afford xylene. According to the discussed reaction mechanism, the dehydroalkylation of cyclohexane hydrocarbons on Pt, Ga-pentasil involves both the steps of formation of unsaturated intermediates and toluene in status nascendi.
