Conclusions

  1. 1.

    We have compared the catalytic properties of Rh/C, Os/C, and Pt/C in the configurational isomerization of cis-1, 2-, trans-1, 3-, and cis-1, 4-dimethylcylohexanes and cis- and trans-1, 2-dimethylcyclopentanes in a flow-type system and under pulsed conditions.

  2. 2.

    We have studied the kinetic characteristics of the configurational isomerization of cis-1, 4- and trans-1, 3-dimethylcyclohexanes on Rh/C and also cis-1, 4-dimethylcyclohexane and trans-1, 2-dimethylcyclopentane on Os/C in a flow-type system. The order of the reaction with respect to the hydro-carbon and the apparent activation energies are considerably greater for the cyclopentane hydrocarbons than for the cyclohexanes. On the Os/C catalyst the activation energies of the configurational isomerization are considerably higher than on Rh/C. The relative disposition of the alkyl groups in the 1, 2-,1, 3- and 1,4-dimethylcyclohexanes has no influence on the values of the activation energies.

  3. 3.

    The results indicate that the configurational isomerization of stereoisomeric dialkylcyclohexanes takes place on Rh/C in the same way as on Pt/C, in accordance with an associate mechanism of the SN2 type.
