Homogeneous destructive hydrogenation of tetralin at high pressures of hydrogen

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 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. 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. 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.
