Summary

  1. 1.

    An investigation was made of the catalytic transformations of ethylcyclohexane in presence of palladized alumina at 460° in presence of hydrogen at 35, 50 and 65 atm in a flow system.

  2. 2.

    It was shown that, under these conditions, ethyl cyclohexane undergoes profound transformations in various directions: dehydrogenation, hydrogenolysis of the side chain, and isomerization with contraction of the ring and subsequent opening of the five-membered ring.

  3. 3.

    It was shown that increase in pressure from 35 to 65 atm causes the conversion of ethylcyclohexane to rise from 61.4% to 84.8%.

  4. 4.

    It was shown that preliminary treatment of the catalyst with hydrofluoric acid results in reduced dehydrogenating activity and increased isomerizing power.
