Abstract
1. We have studied the liquid phase catalytic dehydrogenation of 1,1-dicyclohexyldodecane and 1,3-bis(2,5-dimethylcyclohexyl)-2-amylpropane in the temperature range 200–300‡. 2. At 245‡, that is, under conditions in which the evolution of hydrogen corresponds to about half the theoretical, the reaction product contains a considerable amount (50–75%) of the hydrocarbon with the mixed structure: 1,1-phenylcyclohexyldodecane and 1-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)2-arnyl-3-(2,5-dimethylcyclohexyl)-propane. 3. We have carried out thermodynamic calculations for the equilibrium concentration in the system 1,1-dicyclohexyldodecane ⇌1, 1-phenylcyclohexyldodecane ⇌1,1-diphenyldodecane in the temperature range 0–350‡
