Abstract
1. Hydrogenation of 1-butylcyclopentene and 1-isopentylcyclopenntane at 200° over a skeletal nickel-aluminum catalyst is accompanied by hydrogenolysis of the cyclopentane ring of the hydrogenation product. Apart from the usual hydrogenolysis products of the cyclopentane, hydrocarbons having one or two fewer carbon atoms than the original hydrocarbon are formed. 2. It was shown that, under the given conditions, isopentylcyclopentane undergoes similar transforma tions. 3. It was suggested that this behavior of cyclopentanes over a skeletal nickel-aluminum catalyst is to be explained by a special arrangement of the ring on the catalyst surface. 4. An examination is made of two possible variants of the mechanism of the hydrogenolysis of the cyclopentane ring over a skeletal nickel-aluminum catalyst.
