Summary
-
1.
The homogeneous destructive hydrogenation of tetralin (1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene) was investigated at 440–462° and at pressures of up to 1200 atm.
-
2.
A general scheme is proposed for the transformations of tetralin under the conditions studied; it is based on the investigation of the reaction products by fractional-distillation and Raman-spectrum methods, and also on kinetic data.
-
3.
The results are in accord with the views expounded in the paper on the radical-chain mechanism of the homogeneous destructive hydrogenation of aromatic hydrocarbons.
