Summary

  1. 1.

    An investigation was made of the hydrogenolysis of bicyclopentyl over a skeletal nickel-aluminum catalyst at 200° at atmospheric pressure.

  2. 2.

    Under these conditions only one of the cyclopentane rings was hydrogenolyzed; this resulted in the formation of products of the simple rupture of C-C bonds of the ring and also of alkylcyclopentanes with a shortened side chain.

  3. 3.

    A scheme is proposed for the mechanism of the hydrogenolysis of bicyclopentyl.
