Summary

  1. 1.

    An investigation has been made of the reactions of heptane at 460° in a continuous-flow system in presence of Ru, Rh, Pd, and Pt deposited on silica gel and of hydroge at 20 atm. Ruthenium, rhodium, and palladium have been applied for the first time in the study of the trasnformations of heptane.

  2. 2.

    It has been shown that, under the given conditions, heptane undergoes far-reaching transformations in various directions apart from toluene, benzen and xylenes were found among the aromatic products. In the paraffin part of the catalyzate, C5-Cγ branched hydrocarbons were found.

  3. 3.

    An appreciable amount (about 5%) of methylcyclohexane was found among the products of the catalytic treatment of heptane over Ru-SiO2. This fact indicates that the formatiion of a six-membered ring occurs as an intermediate stage in the dehydrocyclization of alkanes having a chain of six or more carbon atoms.
