Summary

  1. 1.

    The hydrogenolysis of n-heptane, 3-methylhexane, 2,4-dimethylpentane, and 2,2-dimethylpentane on a 10% Ni-Al2O3 catalyst at 360° and a hydrogen pressure of 20 atm was investigated.

  2. 2.

    A relation was found between the position of preferential hydrogenolysis of C-C bonds in the molecules of these alkanes and their skeletal structure. In molecules of branched alkanes, C-C bonds at the greatest distance from the tertiary and quaternary carbon atoms underwent hydrogenolysis preferentially.
