Formation of cycloheptatriene from benzene, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen over a cobalt catalyst

Summary

  1. 1.

    At 190° and 1–20 atm in presence of a Co-ThO2-kieselguhr catalyst (100∶18∶100) benzene in admixture with carbon monoxide and hydrogen forms small amounts of cycloheptatriene.

  2. 2.

    Under these conditions cycloheptatriene undergoes reaction to an almost quantitative extent.

  3. 3.

    The cycloheptatriene is probably formed by the reaction of benzene with methylene radicals formed by the incomplete reduction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen.
